Spoiler Tags

[Salted_Chipmunk]

After just wrinting my thread about Ghost in the Shell 2, i realised that the inclusion of spoiler tags might be a good addition.

If anyone has seen them on somwthingawful.com you will know what i mean.

Basically you put around the text that you wish to have known as a spoiler and the text that is inside the tags is blanked out so it just looks like one thick, big black line. Then when you roll the mouse over this section, the text colour is changed to white so that you can view it.

Makes it easier than adding a s'poilers inside' to the thread title, and doesnt clutter up the forums with two threads, with and without spoilers.

What do you guys think?

I suggested this a few weeks ago, but the suggestion dissapeared with the old suggestion forum.

Suggestion!

You could post in "Dim Gray" colour, and then people would have to highlight the text like you've just done....

*spoiler*

but this would only work on the zskin i'm looking at now.....

Thats what I used to do but you're right, the skins screw it up.

Top idea. Worthy of a Stygian Thumb Up....

Yeah i used to do the different colour text on a different forum, but the problem was that each post would alternate between two different colours, one light and one dark.

Sorta stuffs it up a bit if people start deleting posts.

Its a suggestion, i dont expect it to be taken up, just thought that its a good idea.

Works well on SA.

Cheers Styg, now lets get it approved by the mods :)

I saw this on another site. I think the skins can be worked around it. Let me look into this.
