Spoiler Stopgap

#1 Post by WheresFanny » Thu Oct 09, 2008 8:22 am

You can change the colour of your font to be something very close to the background of the post so that it's hard to read unless you are really looking unless you highlight the text.

Like this.

Or this.

Or even this.

There are a couple that are very close, but I didn't know if Uly would want to drag and highlight every answer, so I left it as is for now.

But, just a thought.

Be advised of two things:

1) That solution works well as long as no one uses a different-colored theme. There aren't any available yet, but there will be shortly.

2) I'm working on getting spoiler tags back in place. The hack I put in before only worked for the older version of the code. I'm not sure how long it will take me to find a replacement.

This works fine, or players can just put spoiler spaces in.
I believe in the usefulness of useless information.
