I just saw a what seems like a very handy bb code feature

If you want to post a "spoiler," then you simple wrap it in
..... BB code.

A viewer will see the portion as blackened out. To view it, one simply holds down the left click on the mouse, and drags it across the black, and the letters underneath become visible.


Perhaps this would be a handy feature in some of the various game threads.

It dawns on me that one might achieve the same effect with bb code to request a black background. When one selects the text, the background color changes, making the letters visible.

Oh Gosh! By accident, I found something that works as a spoiler code!

[-code-][-color-=orange] test test [/-color-][/-code-]

If you remove the dashes (-) then you have the following. And if you hold down your left mouse button, and drag over the box, you may then read the text.

The above ALMOST works...

I don't know if this link will be at all helpful to Admin

Actually a friend of mine wrote the code for this forum software (not phpbb) awhile ago, I just haven't implemented it.

The spoiler option is a very useful tool if not abused(or overused)by the membership...and it would certainly work well here, I would think. Very enjoyable board you have here, BTW!
