Spoiler Tags- how do I use them?Follow

#1 Apr 03 2009 at 3:21 PM Rating: Decent
I noticed, while reading a message in forum=10, that Allakhazam added spoiler tags. I was just wondering how to use them.

[spoiler ]Text that contains the spoilers[/spoiler ] without the spaces. Like so:

Text that contains the spoilers

In most (but not all) situations, you can find out how someone did something in their post by opening a reply to the post and pressing Quote Original.

There are many things in this forum that most people do not know how to do!

And I can never get block tags to work, they always take at least 7 minutes of tinkering with before I can finally remember how to use them properly.

I didn't forget about it, I just have no use for a flaming "C" and therefore chose not to include it.

BOO! When did they remove public access from the smilies folder? It used to be the easiest way to find out if there was a smily for something... I'd just look there and then try putting the name inside [: :]

Kaolian and I had planned on getting the new FAQ forum support page up last weekend. However, something happened that totally ruined my weekend and therefore was tossed aside until this weekend. Hopefully we will have something ready for you to read over and critique tomorrow. Smiley: grin

Will it have ALL the smilies on it? That's why I liked the folder access. Some of them weren't usable (I think they were for the old Alla forum), but there was a really long list of ones that worked, but weren't on the FAQ... some game-specific and some not. Like the [:lightsaber:] one for instance.

Too bad it shows up like this on the news template:

It worked on the other templates though... Then again, the news template also doesn't show the spoilers on mouseovers either at present. You have to actually select the covered text to read it.

I wonder if they call that the news template, I will have to find out! The gray one was the news template, I thought the black and blue one was the zam one. /giggles

But that does look like crap IMO.

Was very stressful in fact, I may have to get the doc to prescribe me something, seriously. Smiley: cry It has had an effect on my entire life and way of thinking. We can chat later if you'd like.



I will try to have at least part of the new FAQ up by tomorrow folks!
