carpediem Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 Would be kinda nice if you had a spoiler tag in the forum so people easier can stay away of possible spoilers. I made one at another forum I read/write in and it seems to work quite ok there. I had no access to the forum code when I did this, so I had to put it in the forum style code that I had available from the forum config (was a mod there). I'm sure it could be better coded, so don't shoot me :) How it looks in action you can see here: http://www.alltomtv.se/forum/showthread.ph...6075#post996075 <DIV onmouseup="this.className='base'" class=base onmousedown="this.className='base2'"><EM class="spoilertext"></B><FONT size=+0>Spoiler</FONT> (Click and hold to read):</EM><BR>the spoiler text goes in here</DIV> style looks something like this. .base { border: 1px; background: #eeeeee; border-style: dashed; border-color: #cccccc; width: 60%; padding-top: 0; padding: 10px; margin: 1em; color: #eeeeee; cursor: help; } .spoilertext { color: #000000; } .base2 { border: 1px; border-color: #cccccc; background: #eeeeee; border-style: solid; width: 60%; padding-top: 0; padding: 10px; margin: 1em; color: #000000; cursor: default; } Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joel Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 should be in the thread title, IMO. If it's a spoiler post, then the quote tag should be used and a white font chosen like this See? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but a thread that starts out without indending to be a spoiler, wouldn't have that though. Adding a button that adds in the editbox, to the formatting section would make it kinda easy :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 It would still be able to include a post like this, though. Like I said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[ timko ] Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 Highlight above post. That's sneaky and I've seen that technique used before on spoiler sites... however, you just know you're gonna get some really lame noobies bitching --> "wtf man, you didn't post jack... are you retarded or something? u = t3h suK!" :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carpediem Posted February 25, 2004 Author Share Posted February 25, 2004 Highlight above post. Yes i understood you the first time, but which way is better looking and more intuitive than seeing an empty quote frame? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zip Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 i always thought if the poster didnt prefix the title then the media forum mod usually did anyways? i dont think we need to load the admins up with any unecessary work at the moment :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
