FORUM CODE BROKEN

***Fenris*** · 06-09-2007, 09:40 PM

FIX PLZ
Total rip off of fifth.

Or my internet stopped being dumbtarded.

For a note, the back background color was showing through and the links were set to my browser defaults. It seems to have fixed itself now.

More specifically there seems to be a problem in the code for the CSS. It seems to have somehow been scrambled so that its not being written to the page properly.

Its fixed for me now to. I wonder if someone wasn't trying to make a change.

That was me dicking around a bit, it should be back to normal.

Assuming I didn't fuck anything else up, we now have [spoiler] tags that

Quote:

will work in quote boxes without being edited

as well as a [spoiler2] tag that will

create a box to hide spoilers that will show them when the button is clicked

for when people have longer spoiler entries that would be a pain to read highlighted.

The breakage was me having to fiddle with the forum's style settings, on account of vBulletin will apparently have no truck with the bgcolor html attribute.

That is quite the nifty addition there. I approve.

Melfice · 06-10-2007, 12:03 PM

So, basically we have official spoilers like this: (And it's an actual spoiler, albeit an old one)
Aeris DIES! =DDD
Like how Fifthfiend is a big asshole, when he's not changing things here so they're awesome
And the secret additions one might make as a joke?
Awesome! Melfice approves!

the blackout text isn't necessarily for joking around, it's just that if you happen to write out an entire long several-paragraphs post, but there's one sentence where you mention Pirates of the Carribean III and happen to point out they bring back the dog with the keys!!! then it's probably easier to black out that one thing.

But if your post is just one big long spoiler-filled spoiler party then you might prefer to just box it.

It's really all down to whichever you find convenient.

Well, if you feel like it, you could make something into a SUPER spoiler, and piss everyone off by going through extra clicking and highlighting.

But, you'd have to be pretty bored to do that.

I love these spoiler blocks so much my vagina is getting a hard on.

Sithdarth · 06-10-2007, 10:44 PM

So apparently after nesting this tag in itself 62 times it stops working, of course that might have just been because I didn't put any words in any of them.

Oh, man, why do I willingly click on those things when I know they're going to be nested forever?
