ohayou hikarins! as you can tell, the site rewrite is live! isn't it great? the dev team put lots of work and lots of love into this project so let's be sure to give them our thanks. in this thread, please report any issues, bugs, comments, questions, or concerns regarding the new site. i will also take the time to highlight some of the major changes and additions since Syrno is a lazy fuck refrained from doing so in the announcement. note that the rules have been updated, so be sure to give them another read. New Additions: - new imageboard software! as stated in the announcement, Hikari3 has changed from using Lynxchan to Koshi, a new imageboard software made in-house. the source code can be found here: https://github.com/hikari3-ch/koshi (that is, once the repo is made public). this in itself comes with many improvements, especially under the hood. i'm just a janny so i'm not qualified to list them all, but i can assure you Koshi is pretty great. - new and improved homepage! the homepage has been updated with a few new features. the new layout includes a new Featured Threads section, which is pretty self explanatory. hand-picked by (usually) Syrno. at the bottom, there is also an Other Threads section, which will randomly select threads from the SFW boards to showcase. 素敵ですね？ - new 2D Ero board! a new board has been added for 2D ero images, aka hentai. please be sure to read the rules. note that posts made on this board do not appear in the Latest Posts or Other Threads section on the homepage. this board has been added in place of the Oekaki board, but don't worry! the ability to create your own masterpieces lives on. i'll talk about this later. - board statistics! https://files.catbox.moe/ewber2.PNG you can now check the board statistics, a panel that shows activity for each board. this can be found through the button directly to the left of the "Submit a Thread" button on the sidebar. - upgraded posting! https://files.catbox.moe/ltv2gv.PNG there are a few new options and QOL improvements in the posting menu. for one, you can now make new posts from the bottom of the thread. the quick reply panel also now has the emote dropdown menu for your convenience. the "Submit a Thread" button at the top of the sidebar will bring you to a new thread page where you can more elaborately create threads. using either the new thread page or the reply section at the bottom of the thread gives you the option to embed YouTube videos, create polls, and draw your own images! oekaki reborn on every board! - new CSS themes! there are some new CSS themes to spice up your browsing experience beyond the standard hikari3 color palette. feel free to check them out! i personally am using Catppuccin Macchiato. beyond this, there are other new features and changes for you to discover. we hope you enjoy the new site! happy posting.

Hello everyone! I'm arithefirst, nice to meet you. I'm the new developer at hikari3. I've been working with the staff for about 4 months. If you saw the news post, you will know about the new software we're working on. Here, you can add suggestions and feature requests you'd like to see for the new image board software.

Because syrno is a lazy fuck

syrno please consider becoming site friends with marzichan theyre already friends with wapchan but it fits with h3 more than wap (imo)

create a board for hobbies called 'hobby' would be good, what do you think of it?

I don't know if this intended behavior, but when I click on an emote from the dropdown, nothing happens. So, to add them to a reply, I have to manually type them I'm using Chrome, I haven't tried in other browsers, but it happens on different devices

world2ch.net and several other imageboards are celebrating golden week in japan by having a gold css. i think we should do it too because it looks really cool

why my posts are getting delete

New fren here, whats the history of this site? I know it's only a year old but why was it made? Any happenings happen? Please let a newfren know!

This imageboard is pretty cool, not gonna lie. Good job admin

are you going to add new feature files like jpeg, png, webm, webp, pdf files, other files, 3d image, etc...?

Any reason why sharing the Words of the Bible is met with Disdain and a Deleted thread? It seems fairly inoffensive to me. The only reason I evade your ban is because there never was a good reason for banning me, I never spammed, I simply made a Thread in /en. Let my Thread be

I feel that there would be more interesting conversations if new people joined hikari3, so what is there to be done? (Unrelated pic)

Do yall like the chrismas theme?

There seems to be an issue where when I tried to post a reply to a thread in /jp/ instead of posting the reply it created a new thread. This occurred when Javascript was turned off. Whyyyy

there's been notably more CP posting recently. are they bots? i would hope so, right? are there any good ways to combat them?

Is the flash uploader broken? I always get "A file had a format that is not allowed by the server."

Could hikari add a nonoko option? Many times I'm in the overboard, visit a thread, reply to it and expect to return to the overboard right away, instead of staying on the thread.

We need more people here. The site has felt super dead lately, and I typically try to post as much as I can, but I can't be the only poster here. And I don't want this site to die

Can we switch to Matrix instead? dicksword is gay

why did you deleted the board /aca/ (=academy)? it was a pretty good board and kind of unique and niche and it was used quit frequently. I know what you're going to say: I deleted it because there isn't much traffic to sustain a lot of boards. if you stick with "normal" boards for a standard imageboard, you're going to get standard users and not so much attractivness. /aca/ would have bring new people on h3. Bonus: do you know how many people come to h3/use this imageboard? Thank you

>NO raids, politics, useless posts, pepes, and woahjacks. so, no fun?

out of curiosity: how did you find this site?

Tor and I2P mirrors would be cool for this site.

Mousing over "(OP)" highlights the first shown reply, not the OP post.

i can't seem to respond to posts anymore without getting a notification that says something like 'image needed to create thread' and 'flood detected' if i try again. am i being a dum dum?

Is it possible to add other subheadings other than "syrno is lazy" or "love palace"? And maybe create a submission thread for that as well?

Where is the information about message formatting?

Did the website font change, or is it just my web browser having a spasm?

i was going to lament about the emotes/styling dropdown menu disappearing, but to my surprise, it's actually still there, but only when you're making a thread and not when you're replying to one.

can you male a 'create thread' when you're in catalog mod please and can you put the catalog at the top of the board because I must always scroll down to use catalog mod thank you

Why was >>>/en/3336 locked? It doesn't go against the rules

where is the catalog button in phone? I don't see it

Does the website have paid advertisement?

The buttons in the emotes and styling dropdowns aren't working for me for whatever reason Anyone else having issues like this? I'm using Firefox if that helps (Picrel)

The new board is really nice, but the flash embeds aren't being properly centered on mobile view. They extend off screen, leaving roughly half of the flash unable to be viewed or touched. Could this be fixed?

>A file had a format that is not allowed by the server. Whenever I try to upload any swf file tested on both chromium and firefox I can upload those same files on 4chan/f/ see: https://boards.4chan.org/f/thread/3500725/a persistent link: http://swfchan.com/51/254900/?testingx.swf

I liked how it was before, you get to see what was the last reply, now you can't do that anymore

I think this emote has a typo...

On /jp/, the default poster name is "Anonymous-san". But I suggest to change it to "名無し" ("nanashi"/nameless), which is what's used on Futaba (and probably other Japanese imageboards). I think this would be more genuine, unlike "Anonymous-san", which honestly just feels more like a forced LARPer meme to me.

Good news: I got emotes to work (i got the kagami emote from https://ikouchan.tokyo/ib/lounge/ ) I'll be getting sum custom emotes of hikari, then putting it on here soon (I got the idea from Heyuri & ikouchan so full credit to them!)

the last 2 numbers always display as 1

how many of you would like to join and idle in IRC if i set it up?

I probably shouldn't have put that off for so long. Attached is the uncropped version. You can get the final version by going to /aca/ and opening the banner image in new tab.

Yes

loving the frames
