what to do with *Spoilers* ?
Posted: Wed Jun 01, 2005 6:34 pm
There are a few threads (Episode 3 and confluxII and maybe soon PaulH new dungeon discussion),
where there are risks of spoilers.
There are some ways to cope with that. The first one is: Mark the thread with "!!!SPOILERS INSIDE"" or similar.
The second one I know of is: Either make the font a very small size, so the probable reader has to copy and paste it
into a texteditor and increase the font size in order to read it, or just leave some space between,
so the forum user has to scroll down.
I wonder if there is not a more elegant way.
Since there is no possibility to change the background colour here,
I have the following suggestion:
Of course this will be work and it most likely will finally be up to Gambit to decide if, how and when, if .
Here it comes:
On a forum there was the possibility to put a box into your post.
(much like the quote box here)
This box was only readable if you would select the text written in it.
(having the same background- and font colour)
Do you get the idea?
Is that something this forum badly needs/ You would use?
Is there an other way, which is even better or do you like it the way it is?
