Spoiler Test

| ThatDonGuy Member since: Jun 22, 2011 Threads: 6 Posts: 236 | As there are no actual spoiler tags here, spoilers have to be created manually by changing the text color to the background. Fortunately, this isn't one of those boards where the background color changes with every other reply; setting the text to white seems to work fine. However, it would look better if the spoiler was in its own block. I was considering just changing the background color to, say, yellow, and then setting the spoiler text to the same color, but you get this: SPOILER ALERT - Highlight the rest of this block to reveal it: The producers of the Teen Choice Awards have the right to choose any of the nominees in the top four of the voting in a particular category as the winner Even knowing the length of a spoiler could spoil it. The obvious solution is a quote block:
The quote block color is #EEEEEE. |

I like this better. "Baccarat is a game whereby the croupier gathers in money with a flexible sculling oar, then rakes it home. If I could have borrowed his oar I would have stayed." Mark Twain |

So do I. But it's not nearly as easy, even if much more considerate. This space is closed for remodeling |

| DJTeddyBear Member since: Nov 2, 2009 Threads: 105 Posts: 5727 | Not nearly as easy? Hell, we got people that still can't figure out how to make a clickable link! Mind you, the experience at other boards is that anything that looks like an URL automatically becomes a link.... Superstitions are silly, childish, irrational rituals, born out of fear of the unknown.
But how much does it cost to knock on wood? |

Well this hand coded forum, which I still contend is a bit like building your own car given the features of the open source boards out there. It might work, but unless you spend a lot of time tinkering with it, it'll not out perform a Ford all that often. "Then you can admire the real gambler, who has neither eaten, slept through nor lived, he has so smarted under the scourge of his martingale, so suffered on the rack of his desire, for a coup at trente-et-quarante" - Honore de Balzac, 1829 |

Is there an echo in here? :)
I don't mind that. In Firefox when you highlight what looks like a link, the pop-up menu with the secondary mouse button gives you the option to: 1) open the link, 2) open the link in a new frame and 3) open the link in a new window. It takes alot longer to say this than to do it. This space is closed for remodeling |
