We have recorded a short video to demonstrate the difference between default and mosaic alignments.

" %}

By the default netboard.me tries to fill empty space to make the board to look as a fancy Web Page.

Sometimes strict posts order is required. For this case you can use Ordered or Notes alignment.

The difference between them is height equalization which is not performed with Notes alignment.

To switch an alignment you need to enable Edit mode, open Customize tab, select main netboard area for customization and chose an option from alignments menu.
