How do I get the non-blackout, drop-down spoiler?

Note that there are two "spoiler" buttons below all of the other buttons which appear while you're composing a message.

Spoiler

"spoiler" is the blackout style

This is optional text

"spoiler=" is the drop-down style

For the second one, you can add optional text between the "=" and "]" by surrounding your text with quotes.

If I knew, I'd tell you. It may have something to do with the way your preferences are set on the user
control panel or which interface you're using. Someone who does know will eventually come along and tell you. Sorry I'm not any help.

Well gee, that was easy! Thanks!

Now both of you can try the optional text. Get that right, and you're both spoiler experts! Don't try to nest them too much, though, it seems to get confused and make a mess!

I think that one is definitely over my head or maybe it's just too late right now for my brain to
compute it. I don't have clue on that as of right now. Thanks anyway. Appreciate the help on the
spoiler thingie.

I understand if you don't want to try it, but it's one little step more than what you did before.

Type something
Highlight it
press the "spoiler=" button
between the = and the ]
type "something" (including the quotes)
preview or submit

That's all there is to spoilers!

Trying it

OK...did I get it right?

Edited to say...well hell...that was easy!

Quotes are not necessary for the text to show up in the (Spoiler=) function.... so long as the text you want is between the equal sign and the closing bracket.....

I just tested that. You are correct. I assumed they'd be required because they are required for the

Well, since I always like to learn something new....

Guess it is easy

And now I can consider myself a spoiler expert?

You are very sweet to try and help, Kiki, but I think SSS uses that as a schtick. Like he's the Anti-Uly.

Well, he could like me and not pay attention. Of course, I am slow like that.
I can be his morning entertainment.

Thank you, Fanny.

As if I would ever add a feature here and not tell everyone how to use it. The noive of some people!
