I Have Another Idea
 

I was just looking at some old threads, and found out that there used to be a spoiler forum. Why don't we have the spoiler forum again? There are new movies and games coming soon, so there would be alot of spoilers soon. Also, where can I read the threads from the old spoiler forum?

Can you tell me how to add a spoilertag?

[ Spoiler ] Text goes here [/Spoiler]

Delete the spaces inside the first bracket.

Spoiler Forums are activated when new games (and films) are released. They are for discussion of the item away from people who haven't been able to access it yet. This continues for a few months after it has been released, by which time we can assume that everyone has had a chance to buy/watch/play/whatever and anyone who hasn't can take care of themselves.

Seeing as nothing will be released any time soon, there is no need for a Spoiler Forum.

Spoiler tags are quite annoying and most people don't know how to use them, same as tiny speak, I wish buttons were added to the quick reply posts so we could easily do it, we wouldn't have to repeatedly tell newbies and computer n00bs like me how to do it, and it we would get threads like this.
Otherwise, I would be repeating what everyone else has been saying.

BRING BACK THE SPOILAH FORUMZ!

Wheeeeee, drunk at work! :catslug::cheer::chairhit::banghead::hungry::beer::bow::pipe::compmad::smokin:

Alcar...

Spoiler forum will prolly return a few months/weeks prior to the release of Citizen Siege. The spoiler forum is only meant for Oddworld related stuff, no other movies or games.

Yay for mudling saying it! Maybe Alcar will actually do it now...

I need 16x16px images.

Alcar...

As bitmap or icons?

Speaking of which, what's going on with those icons I sent you a week ago?

They've drowned in my inbox.

.gif please!

Alcar...

I have a better suggestion than MeechShrykull.

How about this page is linked to either Alcar's sig, the main page or FHAS for ease of use for newbs and lazy people.

How 'bout these?
Do you need me to send you the icons again?

No, no, they're fine.

What about the tiny text symbol? Or will that be left obscured?

Alcar...

Actually, I think this one is probably best left a mystery

Oh dear... Nate, do you have copies of those two images you posted? As it turns out they need to be 21x20 (WxH). I prefer the first one.

Alcar...

I have a question... and I'm sorry to ask it: what is a spoiler?

This is a spoiler.

Actually I think you'll find that's a spoiler tag. A spoiler is sensitive information about a movie, book or game that may ruin the enjoyment of a person playing if they know. For example, telling them the end of a book would be a spoiler to a person currently reading it.

How's this?

Ok, thank you. I understood that I knew what a spoiler is, but I can't find the word "spolier" in my dictionary, so I didn't know an explanation.

A button (http://www.oddworldforums.net/images/editor/spoiler.gif) for the [SPOILER] tag has now been added.

Alcar...

Gimme the CSS and I will. It's using Javascript at the moment. Unfortunately.

Alcar...

*hard refresh*

Ummm... you need to add it to the Quick Reply box.


Or do I need to get mudling to remind you?


EDIT: After that, you might want to get on to this suggestion. It's only been in your inbox for four years. :p


EDITX2: Are we happy with the positioning of the new button? I think it might be better next to the quote button, seeing as they have similar effects.

It's not that simple to move things around, especially on Quick Reply, as this is meant to only contain the bare bones of BBCode. So at the moment, it's only on the proper editor.

I've also positioned it next to the quote button.

Alcar...

Okay then, have half a cookie.
