Spoiler Box

sina j · 05-05-2007, 12:38 AM

Well I saw this at another forum a while back and I thought it was cool. I don't know if Legends Forums can support it or if it is necessary, but I think it is a cool feature that should be considered

So it's basically like this. When you post you can choose to put some of your message or all of it in a spoiler box. So when you post a box with the size of your message will appear and you cannot see what is written. You will see a blank box. The only way to see the text is to highlight it using your mouse. This is useful if you want to post spoilers or something that other may not want to see by accident, or if you want to post questions and have the answers there, etc.

Well thanks for reading and sorry if it was suggested before, but I'm being microwaved in my room from the heat and I have a headache so I didn't quite feel like searching.

Seems like an ok idea. It would be useful for you and dan when
creating your games and riddles.

It's also a great idea for people pushing the limit for signature size

Sounds good.

sounds kinda neat

... and im sure it can support it b/c all that needs to be done is change the font color to the background color

...nothing to complicated

vBulletin forums support bbcode don't they? If so it can be done. I'll test it for you.

WEEEEEE mayo > you
edit: lmfao it works.
K what you do is type (color=#25292c)message(/color) but insert []'s instead of the ()'s

This only appears invisible for those who use the current dark default style. That's the problem with this method.
Anyway if you highlight the line above this edit you will see WEEEEEE mayo > you.

mayo, that isn't the spoiler they are talking about. It works, but your method would overtime take up space in your signature. The spoiler they want, is a button you press, and everything hidden in it drops down. So you could have an extra 200 pixels worth of signature stuff, but it is hidden unless someone presses the button.
