how about......? a new rule for spoilers - Page 2

Epona · 02-21-2002, 09:53 PM

I think while it's a well-meaning idea, it's not practical. If people can't be bothered to type:
SPOILER
.
.
.
.

then they certainly won't bother with html.

Also there is the problem with people not closing their tags, could render the whole board unreadable [img]graemlins/uhoh1.gif[/img]

OK everyone then..../
I just gave my idea, use it as you will,

Cerek,
Exactly exactly same thing is with me, i dont play a game without walkthroughs.....

And well.. er... Larry, Jorath, Barry.... , um.. er... This hidden text is my idea... and since no rule was made i retain the full rights to use it ... buhahahahahahahahahah

So please stop using it without my permission

to ensure that no one reads spoilers accidentally here, all spoilers have to be put in "invisible" text..... ie, the colour of text is same as that of the background... that way the only way to read the text (the spoiler) is by highlighting the text.... this way no one will see the spoiler accidentally...

to write text in "invisible" mode use this HTML tag

Your text

below is an example highlight the text to read it:
this is an example of hidden text

it can be used to write spoilers so no one will read them accidentally

the colour of text is same as background

it has to be highlighted to be read..

How did u get it to display the tag ??

i guess this is a good idea for them not to be spoiled with the info, and its a bit fun too.

you'll have to learn how to explore to see if there's some hidden text in a reply
You can't see me!!!!!!...... You can't see me!!!!!
DON'T CONTINUE TO HIGHLIGHT!!!!!

hey!!!! that's unfair!!!!

Hi!!! this is a hidden text, if you accidentally read this....

What would be even better is if someone wrote a ubbtag for it, then people could just use something like [ h ] and [ /h ] to hide text. Even easier, make it hide text and have a "display" button to show it.

It might make the idea more practicable - at present I can see half of the hidden text against the background, since it alternates. Which I never noticed before, now I come to think of it.
