Spoiler

[Hawk]

This may be a stupid question, but how come there isn't a spoiler tag button like there is for quotes and italics and the like? People may sometimes forget what the tag actualy is (I have) and so have to go and find it in someone else's post so they can copy it. It would be much easier if there was already a button for it and I don't imagine it would be hard to add it.

The spoiler tag is simply (spoiler)text(/spoiler), with brackets instead of parentheses. If you want to quote text like that, it's color-formatted font colored 222222. Six two's. And that's terrible.

As for remembering it, you just end up memorizing it after constant usage. A button would still be nice, though.

That tag is a custom tag, meaning we had to define it manually. I'm not sure how easy exactly it would be to add a button. Could be anywhere from inserting a line of code to editing a template or whatever (little help on the technicalities, fellow admins?).

Handy hint: if you forget a tag, look in the lower left corner where there's a box with the caption "Posting Rules." The one where it says "You may post new threads" etc. There's a link to vB code (http://forum.nuklearpower.com/misc.php?do=bbcode), where all tags that are enabled on the forum - even the custom ones - are listed.

Huh I didn't realise there was another way you could type it. I always keep seeing the [color=#111111] way of typing it. Which is a bit wierd. Why are there even 2 ways to do it? A single button would be much simpler and quicker.

Ah that's handy too Meister. Thanks.

Simple. One is the HTML code. For example, if you type ["color=#ff0000"]Text["/color"] you will get [color=#ff0000]Text. If you type ["color=red"]Text["/color"], you still get Text.

One is the shortcut method ( and ), and the other is the technical HTML method (["color=#111111"] and ["/color"].

In other words, you can either tell it to blank it out using [spoiler] or tell it to be the background color with [color=#111111].
