Spoilers Options

[Inger Klekacz]

Here's how spoilers work: you know when someone comes up to you and says, "Man, I just saw the best movie..." and then they continue on and tell you all about the plot twists and turns and things you never would have seen coming, and then when you actually get to see the movie, you already know all the secrets and you don't get the full experience of the movie.

On an online forum, we have the luxury of using "spoiler" tags, which basically look like this:

i am surprising text!


If you wanted to use spoiler tags, here's how:

CODE

[spoiler]i am surprising text![/spoiler]

It changes the background color of whatever is between those two tags to the same color as the text itself, so that people can't inadvertently read information they may not have wanted to know. In order to read the text, they just have to click and drag over it like they're highlighting the text, and it'll show up for them.
