I'm tired of writing in blue
Dear Mr. Paul Saunders,
I respectfully request a spoilers BBCode so that I don't have to keep writing in blue to make sure I don't spoil. The xkcd fora have one which basically makes a button that says spoilers and when it's clicked the text inside the [spoiler][/spoiler] is shown. If this is possible to get and it's not too much trouble I would appreciate it.
Sincerely,
Man who knows the hex value of the background colour
P.S. Am I the only one who actually cares?

Actually no, not at all.
But spoiler tags are notorious for not working properly all the time.

They only don't work when people don't know how to use them...Though I suppose there are some browsers out there that might have issues. That being said, I was using them on other forums when I was still using IE6. And if IE6 can handle them, anything should be able to.
Needless to say(But i'll say it anyway), I'm a big fan of spoiler bb tags.

So here is what you do: make a quote box with title "spoilers" code your spoilers as white.
spoilers wrote:Like so
Re: I'm tired of writing in blue
Or you can do what I do:
TWILIGHT SPOILERS BELOW
Twilight sucks, Edward is a creepy stalker bastard, Bella is a dipshit.

Re: I'm tired of writing in blue
The problem I find on another forum is that if people post multiple spoiler tags on a single page, only the first one works.

Re: I'm tired of writing in blue
Could Paul code a spoilers tag that just sets the text to the background colour of the forum automatically? That should avoid any problems with the tag not working.

Re: I'm tired of writing in blue
Well, even so, it's kinda annoying to have to highlight everything. Or you can just quote it.
Re: I'm tired of writing in blue
I question why that's different than using blue, though.

Re: I'm tired of writing in blue
Not everybody knows the hex code for the blue used as the background (I look it up whenever I need to use it), so this would just make it easier.

I think a spoiler tag would be good.

Re: I'm tired of writing in blue
Just having the forum background shade of blue available in the available font colours pane would suffice for me. Making it more complex than that could screw things up when people start quoting each other.

Re: I'm tired of writing in blue
When someone uses the blue text, but then is quoted, the text becomes visible because it is then on a white background.

Re: I'm tired of writing in blue
Seems like a good idea. I have added the [ spoiler] tag to the bbcode system. Any text in the spoiler tag will be coloured to match the background in both the post and in a quote or code block.
Example:
Darth Vader is Luke's father

That is because you don't have the new stylesheet. As with all changes to the site, refresh the page to make sure you have the newest version.
