There's a spoiler DD question in mrkelley's QOD that you have to figure your point and decide your wager before you look at it.

Maybe I'm just dumb and everybody already knows this, but when you hit "quote" to reply, it shows any spoilers in the original message! I guess in hindsight that makes sense, since it shows the html code, but I wasn't even thinking about that.

So, look at the message, answer mentally and decide your answers BEFORE you go to reply. Or does everybody do this and I'm the only one who hits "quote" and then decides what I'm going to say? Ha!

Damn, I didn't even think about that.

I'll have to figure out a way to deal with it better before next Friday. For today, I'll just leave it this way, since several people have already played.

I don't know what you are talking about - I will answer in my head before hitting any keys to be safe.

I also didn't even know there was a QoD today until I saw this post.

I seem to ignore the stickys.

If you hit quote rather than reply, the previous message will be in your reply box with all of the html code exposed. So, anything that is spoilered in the original post will be regular text with {spoiler} brackets. Sort of like if you quote a post with a picture in it, your reply box won't show the picture, just the url.

I always quote and then read and respond in that and then just erase the quote brackets before I post it. I find that if I read it beforehand I'll skip over a question and answer in the wrong place when I reply because the questions and answers are already in my head. I did that several times in the DorA game before I finally learned. Maybe it's a dyslexic thing.

And I always like to put the original questions in my reply with the answer bolded because I know that was very helpful to me when scoring people's answers so I didn't have to constantly go back and see which questions were which.
