How do I make a spoiler button?
« on: May 07, 2016, 16:00 »
tag your spoilers for people who still aint seen it yet!

Some forums allow you to make a spoiler button which can contain text, much like when you quote a post.
How do I make a spoiler button exactly? I've been using this site for like 8 years now, and I've never known how to make a spoiler button or use any other forum code except for a few things.

Things I know how to do via forum code:
Quoting other posts or information from other websites (like I did above)
Share links to other sites (with a few obvious exceptions)
Share images (again, with a few exceptions)

What other things am I able to do with the forum code?

the spoiler HTML isn't available on pkmn dot net, so you'll have to make it clear in some other way. you can do this by linking off-site (though be mindful of the rules for advertising) and by marking the post in other ways. EG putting spoilers in block capitals and several sizes larger so that people can scroll straight past or leave the topic.

Just type

WARNING! MASSIVE SPOILERS BELOW!

Or something like that.

and then add lots of spaces between that and the actual spoiler so people dont see it for real

Are you interested in spriting, or improving it?

I wonder why when everyone is as charming as you.

Secret tests within: show
This should show up as a spoiler box


I've installed a mod for this that should add the functionality, tag-name 'spoiler'

cool, thanks Joeno, spoiler tags are pretty useful, I appreciate it
My mom bought me this new laptop and it gets really hot when the chat is being spammed. Now my leg is starting to hurt because it is getting so hot. Please, if you don't want me to get burned, then don't spam the chat.

That'll be great for quoting large texts or pictures too! Thank you (:

joneo, it was a joke but if upset you or wasn't really Compliant with your sense of humour then i am sorry. my bad. //shrug//


as a sidenote i obsfucate it through a brash demeanour and i dont agree w/ you on some parts of how this site runs cos Thats How Stuff Is I Guess but im genuinely concerned about you and your wellbeing re: running this place in the long term. and im naive enough to tell you this i guess and hope that you'll move on one day???

i aint been here long enough to know whatever drama went down here over all the years or how to convey this to you """puk style"""" im gonna continue to Nerd Friend people in RR, cos thats p much the only reason im here.

if snippy comments about this place are that annoying and you react to them like this then its a shame but id rather just get on with things and not do a bunch of dumb smouldering about it. sound good? you can change my profile to point loads of dicks at it if i dont keep to my end of this i guess

I wasn't offended or anything when you told me to tag my spoilers, don't worry.
Having a spoiler button in the site is certainly very useful though.

That'll be great for quoting large texts or pictures too! Thank you (:

I thought exactly the same thing.
