New feature: pools

I implemented pools many months ago but took it out because I thought their functionality could easily be replaced with favorites.

I've put them back in since realizing we don't have a good way of grouping together manga, or anything that should be seen in a sequence. The major thing is you can order posts inside of a pool.

The interface is similar to the one for favorites. I've written some docs at: http://miezaru.donmai.us/help/pools

There should be a mode for quick-adding things to pools, similar to the tag scripting mode. The interface for adding things to pools right now is not especially good; after adding an image to a pool, it takes me back to that image, when really I want to be back at the list of images so I can add the next one in the series. So I have to backtrack over multiple pages to get back to the list of posts.

Once you add a post the slow way, you can use the post mode menu, or use Add to Previous Pool.

A good idea would be the ability to execute a search and include all the posts in the pool. I'll try working on implementing this tomorrow.

I've added the ability to import posts into pools easily now.

When viewing an image that's in a pool, it might be nice to have next/prev buttons that navigated within the pool. A little tricky for images in multiple pools (if that can happen), I guess.

I've added a slideshow page for pools. Right now it doesn't handle notes or anything, you'll have to go to the individual post page for that.

Is there any problem with the "Delete Mode checkbox" memtioned in pools help? I can't find it anywhere.

I'm asking because this pool has completly unrelated image in it, and it won't let me delete the pool itself.

Maybe only the owner or an admin can do that.

I guess it makes sense XD
