Spoiler Beige - Highlight To Read This Post!

[KTS]

Ok you can't see this unless you highlight it, cos I checked and the beige colour is working but sometimes I try to write a spoiler line in a post and when I put it in beige you can see it without highlighting it! What's up with this?

is it something to do with the background colours on different topics?

e.g. (this is just one example, others include topic "Spirited Away") see last line of my post in "Drag Names"

Are you using the spoiler tags?

Techie question - What's a spoiler tag? and how does it realte to topics posted here?

Enclose your text in [ spoiler ] and [ / spoiler ] (remove all spaces, I just left the spaces there so the tags wouldn't be processed), and you'll have to highlight any text within the tags in order to read it.

Cool; didn't realise this. Thanks. But, question how come the beige works as a spoiler tag in some posts, and not in others? Is it to do with different colour backgrounds in some threads?

well if you look at this thread alone, you'll see that the shading alternates with every second post.

Oh yeah! Of course; I can't believe I've never noticed this before. In the words of the (second) great Homer D'oh! [O)]
