There are two basic interfaces with this board.
TB — (archived)

One is the "main" board, which is dark with light lettering (the "Zone" look, I guess). You can do a lot from here, including post and make comments. The other is the dashboard, or the control panel, which has a white background with dark lettering. To the left of any of these windows is a menu that gives you a lot to work with. The "comments" section, near the bottom, is also accessible from the main board by clicking "comments" at the top. Here you get all the comments with the most recent at the top, and an editor that works a hell of a lot better than the comment system on the main board. There is also a "posts" tab in the menu that shows posts in the same way. All can be edited here. Each page has a thing at the top that shows categories. For comments, the categories are "All, pending, approved, spam," and "trash." If you click on these, you can access comments in each of these places. If a comment is in any of these places other than where you want it to be, you can "restore" it to the main board. Conversely, you can also permanently destroy it.

For posts, the categories are "All, published, drafts" and "trash." Otherwise, it works the same. A long post composed on this system will often leave drafts behind it in some autosave function. Sometimes you can recover a slightly earlier version of a lost post this way.
