Okay, I need just a WEE bit'o help here, peeps............. · 10:31pm Dec 29th, 2013
And that is, does anyone around here know how to manually insert "Spoiler" Tags into a post? I want to do that, with a reply I'm making right now in a blog-post, but I don't know how, and it's not showing up in the "Preview Comment" thing.
Help?
If I recall correctly, you put [ spoiler ] and [ /spoiler ] with the words in between that. Let me try...
Like this.
1661726 Yeah, I see that, but how do you word the tags? That's what I want to know.
I mean, do you do it like this:
[spoil]word[/spoil}
(only with the proper bracket-thing at the end, rather than the one that I show, like this:
[spoil]Applejack[/spoil]
Thankies for helping me, btw. I appreciate it.
EDIT: Well, that way didn't work.
What the hay am I doin' wrong, anyway?!
Seriously, this site needs a "Spoiler" Tag button that you can just click on like the ones for "Bold", Italiacs" and "Underline". It seriously does.
1661740 I agree there. You don't put "spoil" in the tags though, you put "spoiler". Then it should work if you go the bracket thing like the other tags.
1661783 Ah, okay. The problem, then is that I'm not making the words on each end long enough. Lemmee try it again:
Applejack
Ha! It worked, just like you said it would! Thank you, Shadowed Rainbow! I owe ya one!
1661820 No problem, happy to help!
1661834 And thanks for the help! I was totally stumped on just how do the darned spoiler tags. Now, thanks to you, I've got it licked. Thanks again.
Although the staff really do need to give us some clickable ones so we wouldn't have to do the things manually. That's make it easier on all of us.
1661846 I agree, on this other forum I used to frequent the only way we could put spoilers on anything was to make the text color black (the site background was black). It too a couple years for a clickable spoiler tag to be implemented.
1661862 Yeah, I've had to do that on a couple of forums (not MLP ones, actually) that I was a member of, too. Was not fun.
And while I don't know how long that this site has been around, let's just hope that it doesn't take Knighty and the staff that long to give us some here.
