Summary

Turns the 4chan home page into a powerful image browser. Here's what it does

  • Scans the first 3 pages of your chosen board for any posts that have images/videos
  • Sorts those posts chronologically and displays them in a catalog layout

As with standard 4chan behavior you can click on a thumbnail to display the full picture If you want to see what thread a reply came from you can click >>OP to bring up the original post. If you're interested in a thread you can click the post number to open it in a new tab or you can load all images from a thread by clicking REPLIES<< on its original post.

If you've checked all the images you can click the Refresh Content button to rescan for new images. Any new images will be added to the top of the page. Double-clicking a post will highlight all posts in that thread, allowing you to quickly notice new posts from threads you're interested in.

This will work with any board on 4chan, just go to www.4chan.org and click the board you want to browse.
