A companion post to Katie's Mini Tutorial posted in this thread. https://voat.co/v/GreatAwakening/2724836

8chan Workflow:

Bakers are volunteer anons who work with the BO, (Board Owner) to gather these 'possibly' good posts, (called crumbs) all together and put them into the 'Notables' list for future reference. Other Anons look at these crumbs and dig further providing new crumbs. Further, many of these crumbs make it to Rebbit, Twatter, FB, all the bloggers, Yes NV, PM SB2, etc., all get there stuff from here.

Not all the good posts are gathered. Sometimes the bread is moving so fast that even with a number of bakers busy grabbing notables, some are missed. Usually, but not always, the crumb is reposted by the OP (Original Poster) or another Anon notices it was missed and posts it again to be gathered by the Bakers.

Each Thread, or Bread as they are called is limited to 751 posts, (board code rule) then a new Bread is created, lots of links (the blocks of Q Posts & Notables at the top) are moved over and we start again.

So Anons post Crumbs, Bakers gather them up to bake the Bread. Its Weaponized Autism or Civilian Journalists doing the MSM's job.

On to the board!

~~ All pics are examples and not the latest bread ~~

Start by going here. https://8ch.net/qresearch/catalog.html -- Open it in a new browser window.

Use this link if the Catalog is hosed as happens now and again. http://qest.us/qcatalog It takes you to the latest QResearch Bread.

Let it load. Shrink the windows so you can see both this post and your 8chan window side by side.

Notice the boxes with different titles. These are all the Threads/Breads on the ‘QResearch Board’. These are all the topics anons have started as part of doing Q Research. Some are completely off the wall. Some are deeper digs on Crumbs found in other Breads. Some are for only Graphics, Memes, Side-by-Sides, Q Proofs, etc. Others specialized on a topic like Photo Meta Data, Post Cabal Banking, Hollywood, etc. At your leisure scroll to review the other topics.

All breads have a maximum of 751 posts. Once that count is hit a new bread is created. Notice the QResearch Bread has many boxes. (The Iwo Jima Graphic) This is because it is the most active board and is recreated many times a day. The box with the highest bread number is the latest. See this graphic. (This one is in Dark Mode, more on that later.)

Now that we have found the latest bread, click on it and let it load.

The top of the bread changes little, bread to bread, other than the bread number and whatever saying the baker types in there.

Scrolling down we find some Welcome links and links to Q posts by date. The list obviously is longer when Q is posting a lot. They roll off as time goes by and are archived. Hover over the hotlinks to see a window showing the post. Don’t click any yet.

Next are Notables.

Hover your curser over the links and a window pops up showing the link & replies to that link. Click it and it takes you to the link where you can hover over other reply links. Clear as mud right? Think of the string expanding to the right.

This is the fastest way to review the Notable crumbs the bakers pulled out of the bread. Not all Notables are good, some are crap so be aware. This is how you find crumbs without having to wade through the entire bread.

NOTE: I have to click the browser back button twice to get back to where I was at in notables. (I'm on laptop w/FireFox all tweaked up.) This is where many get lost, me too sometimes. This will make sense doing it a few times. If you get all lost, start over on the catalog page. You will get lost a few times….. LOL

Or when opening a Notable, do the right click thing, open in a new tab as Katie states. Then close the tab when done.

Below Notables are lists of links to all things Q related. I haven’t spent much time in these but there is a lot of info there. Good to be aware of.

Above is a Q post. The only difference between Q and an Anons post is the name will say [Anonymous] where [Q & trip code] are. The only important things to you right now are the post number and all the replies stringing out to the right. What I do is when Q posts, I go to the post, (much like this one) and I start hovering over the replies. A window pops up and I read the reply. Move to the next, then the next, etc. If the reply is huge or has many pics in it, I click it and go to that post.

Now, by clicking the reply you just went down the page. Find the [window scroll block] on the right. Watch it as you now click your [Back] button. The Scroll Block should go up. Click the same link again and it goes down.

The board enters each post as it comes in. First in, first to the board no matter what post they are replying to. So, looking at the reply links in the graphic above, reply 1987424 (the second one) may have any number of posts in between it and the first reply, (1987420) when you scroll down the page.

This also messes with peeps. When scrolling down the page it looks like a jumbled mess of replies with none of them relating to each other. Which is true. It’s the nature of the board coding. (very old school) How the replies are kept with the OP like shown in the Q post above is the replies also include the post number they are replying to. Below is Q’s first post.

This formatting is done by the agro site it was pulled from. It puts the original post Q is replying to, inside Q’s post.
Here is what a reply to an 8chan post looks like.

So now that you are completely confused, play around, click on things, note where the scroll bar goes when you click as it gives you some idea where you are on the board up or down. Chances are if you start scrolling down the page casually reading posts as you go, the bread will fill up to 751 and a new one will be created before you finish surfing on down the page. Scrolling down the page is fun for reading the stupid/funny chit anons post. I don’t read every single post just whatever catches my eye. For any real digging hovering the notable links is the best way.

After a new bread is created many Anons thank the bakers for their work by posting a soft porn offering. Others are douchebags and post dick pics, or hardcore porn or gore or worse. LOL

If you want to use [Dark Mode] like in some of these pics do this:

In the upper right hand corner of any 8chan page is [Options], click it.
On the left column click the [Theme] button. At the bottom, tick the check box, then select [Dark] from the drop down menu. Click the X in the upper right corner of the Options Box to close.

There are other themes if you want to play.

That should get you going, or make your throw your laptop against the wall. ;) Let me know if you have questions.
