hiding spoilers
 

I think there should be a way to hide any spoilers or possible spoilers people post, as one of the options when they create their post.

What do you all think?

things that spoil things for others. like if it's something they haven't yet seen or heard.

what is the point though, maybe its me, but when i hear the word spoiler, i just want to look at it. reverse psychology y'know. XD

Same here. Lol.

It is. A TH forum I'm at has that option.

Ohhh yes I seen then done before. There is a option button at the top and you highlight the spoiler words and then click the button that says spoiler. Your words go in codes and when you post it, people have the option to view the spoiler or not.

I think it is a good idea to have. And there are a lot of posts in the threads so a lot of times I don't skim and read one person's post after another and then I read the spoiler by accident : S

she is talking about the spoiler hider like ones on webpages that hide "ending of stories or "passwords"

This is the exact thing I'm talking about. Thank you. :)

I end up doing the same thing. It's frustrating to say the least.

I think it will be helpful.
I spent nearly thrity minutes once searching all over for a spoiler button.
:/ Unfortunately there wasn't one, so I had no way of hiding the content.

Unless I wanted to color it white, which seems reasonable... I guess.

White is actually pretty visible. a shade of gray is the closest you will be able to get... but even that is still somewhat visible.

That's just what it said in the Rules for the forum.
I'm guessing because the background of the text is white? :confused:

Hmm. I'll have to look at the rules. I seem to remember something about that for the new rules.

It's not really white.

see? white text

ooooh, Spoiler tags would help big time in the anime & manga part of the forum *nod nod*

I think so too.

It means like

I HAVE A HUGE *spoiler*

and when you click spoiler, the acronym HDTV is unveiled.

In another forum Im a member of you can type
[spoiler][/spoiler]
it would be super helpful for a lot of people on here, it seems...

its also a really good way to hide huge images; saves on load times, esp for those on slower connections (i know some people on here are still on dial up :eek: eek )

Hopefully it can be implemented.

It's really not hard to put it in at all, I implemented it in my forum and it took all of 2 seconds. But again only the admin can do it.

I think it depends on your monitor colour, I cannot see white spoiler tags while others can. You know like this:

I can't see that but others can.

Here Better Spoiler bb code - vBulletin.org Forum

vBulletin has the largest modification database compared to all other forum software. You can spend weeks there finding tons of things and there are plenty of them which are useful for JF.

Yeah, I noticed when I was browsing their forum.
But right now all we need is admin who we don't have right now.

I can barely see that. It must depend on monitor color.

@ aniki....

we must have an administrator, else how would this forum exist? :confused:

hmm. *nod nod* that would be excellent, as considering how i found out that in fruits basket, ***** *** **** ********** *** ******* ** *** *****. All from reading a stupid post on a forum, with no spoiler hidings.

That would so frustrate me.

[SPOILER] The hero dies in the end[/SPOILER]

Or the Misa way:

:mtongue:

Misa's works better. less visible. for some reason the color is lighter there.

Because of the contrast.

ah..... ok

Oops, made a thread about this without seeing this post until the morning.

Yeah I'm used to tags [sp] [/sp] and then they have to highlight to read it. Since the admin isn't available maybe the OP can just add a ** SPOILER ** to the title though so they can keep on discussing the topic but others are pre-warned. After all I don't want to kill forum activity, just avoid finding out stuff before I get around to it.
:D
