*SPOILER TAG ANNOUNCEMENT ALERT!*

wade moore · 03-19-2007, 08:15 AM

Spoiler

As you can see demonstrated above, thanks to Ryan S for installing the "Spoiler Tag Plug-In". In order to use it, you would use it the way you do any other tag - so {spoiler}spoiler info{/spoiler} (but of course []'s instead of {}'s).

This tag was put in by my request to the other mods. It is something that has come up time after time on the board and seemed like a no-brainer plug-in.

That being said, please don't make this the springboard to request a bunch of plug-ins to be added. We do not plan on implementing a bunch of plug-ins, this one just served a very specific need that has gone on for some time on the board. So, do not expect for a bunch of plug-ins to all of a sudden show up.

Logan · 03-19-2007, 08:17 AM

Great move...I always wondered why it wasn't here.

It'll be nice having this feature in about 3 months when the novelty of putting a pointless spoiler tag in every post wears off.

I definitely realize folks will play games with it for a little while. But like you said, a few months down the road it will be an integral part of posting around here.

gottimd · 03-19-2007, 08:18 AM

I was really hoping to see this a few days from now...thanks for ruining it!

What if I accidentally press the spoiler button when not looking?

stevew · 03-19-2007, 08:18 AM

still doesn't work if you put the spoiler tag in the first part of the post. One simple scroll over the topic on the main page, and it shows the text. Still, though, a good idea.

Wasn't aware of that - good to know. This was purely a plug-in that we vound on the vbb website, so it is what it is

that's great! Now, we need to educate people about what is and what is not a spoiler, but that'll take some time I guess

Great addition

. Hopefully I can avoid clicking on the little button

Buccaneer · 03-19-2007, 08:51 AM

That's pretty cool actually. I had not seen that before. All I have seen is a spoilers box where it wrote grey text on a grey background.

Even better than that is the fact that it's being used in a situation like this, which had been my hope at least. Not to threadjack but the wiki does need quite a bit more work. I've been too busy to do it, but hopefully others can take up the cause.

rkmsuf · 03-19-2007, 10:01 AM

Old school spoiler:

this is all silly

Ksyrup · 03-19-2007, 10:10 AM

I can't wait until the spoiler tag is used so many times as a joke, that when it is used for the real deal and someone innocently clicks the tag expecting a joke but finds a real spoiler, that the incident will cause as much ruckus as if someone simply posted spoiler info without an alert.

At least, that's my hope, since this move will likely cost me some entertainment that I need to recoup from elsewhere...

cthomer5000 · 03-19-2007, 10:20 AM

QuikSand · 03-19-2007, 10:22 AM

It's going to have a novelty period, I'm sure. But give it a little time and I think this will actually fall into the totally legit use area.

I personally just wanted to test it.

albionmoonlight · 03-19-2007, 10:33 AM

Cool. You can nest spoilers. For people who are really discriminating about what information they want spoiled, I'd expect.

As long as we have one thread for them (as opposed to no threads), that sounds great.

Ksyrup · 03-19-2007, 10:48 AM

I have asked SD to create a new forum for faux-spoiler postings that result in negative post counts.

SirFozzie · 03-19-2007, 11:08 AM

No thanks. To have spoilers work, I'd have to open myself to the interstial ads (no script blocks it)

Foz, you fool. I don't get the interstitial ads anymore, and the spoiler tags work fine for me!

I don't use No Script and I don't get ads. Just gotta use Adblock Plus and the Updater.

There is not much I can do about the spoilers appearing in the previews. None of the available hacks have a solution to that problem yet.
