How hard would it be to include a text function? Other forums I frequent use them and I think they add a lot of versatility to the forum.

Spoiler: Highlight the area below Spoiler

This is the only way right now I know how to add spoilers right now, but I don't imagine it would be hard to add in an already coded snippet. But this method only works if people use the white background of the forums also

Keller raises a good inquiry.


WINGDINGS TO THE RESCUE:

Specs:

I) Ultimate spoiler encryption.

II) Everyone's mother's mother can view it.

III) 10-year powertrain waranty.

IV)It'll blow your socks off.

V) It'll trim your toenails.


Basically that. You just quote it and it tells you what's what.

Kranar, upload an image of a .php from vBulletin's admin slide panel thingy and show me how difficult it would actually be. We could start doing color tags for usernames and other super awesome stuff like my not having to find out whether or not we have strikeout code.

Hmm. Doesn't work for me unless I go into advanced and change the font to something other than wingdings, i'm assuming.

Works for me, the moment I hit quote on his post.

I don't get WingDing as a font, though you can do a spoiler this way:

Just turn your font white and they have to highlight it to see it.

Not so hard, huh?

Or, ya know. We could get things like search to work.

The problem with colored fonts as spoilers is some people use non-standard skins for this site (available as an option through the control panel) which will reveal white font without highlighting.
