We really need a spoilers tag

Especially since people are posting stories. It would be like a quote box, but the text won't show until you press "spoiler" or something like that. It would be a great way to save space. The tags would be like this: [spoiler]Lookit meeeeeee[/spoiler].

Who agrees?

Re: We really need a spoilers tag

Is it really necessary though? I agree that it might be useful in certain situations, but surely you could just not look at it?

Re: We really need a spoilers tag

It's just that long stories take up a lot of room.

Re: We really need a spoilers tag

hmm  It seems a tad unnecessary to me. A possible solution would be to make your text an unreadable color that would only be readable when you highlight it with your mouse.

Re: We really need a spoilers tag

Just use the [color] tags, like this:

Code:

[color=transparent]Invisible text you do not want to spoil[/color]

I don't mean like secrets or whatever, I mean so stories take up less space in a post.

It'd also help make different sections of a long guide or something.

Re: We really need a spoilers tag

Maybe instead, an "unfold" button that shows the whole story when you press it.

Re: We really need a spoilers tag

It is a good idea, but not that necessary. I like PlutoIsHades's idea about the unfold button.
If you read this, you are cool.

Re: We really need a spoilers tag

I don't see why this would be necessary. You could just use some code (which has a scrollbar if it's really long.)

Code:

 Example: JGFkjlahlkghlakjdfglkjadfhgliuhtliuqehotiuarhfoiuqy40817468507yqhegfbnzbafjkhgb afdhgoaeuryotquyotuy3876skljjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjghsu9prahfguuigehrut uh854y o785y 875 875tvco987w

That's exactly what I mean. Though I would do it chapter-by-chapter if it's long.


@Mokat: I find code tags make it harder to read with the scroll tags and think it should be used for, well, code.

Re: We really need a spoilers tag

The thing is though, it would probably take a while to develop, and it's not really essential. It would be better if the Scratch Team concentrated on other stuff, in my honest opinion.

Aw. You did it. Well, this solves the spoiler problem! Just make the text transparent!


DONT HIGHLIGHT THIS POST!! REALLY!

The [transparent] tag doesn't work on Internet Explorer, use [color=#dedfdf] instead  tongue  If you want invisible text in a quote, use [color=#f1f1f1]

Re: We really need a spoilers tag

I would rather the Scratch programmers focused on Scratch 2.0 instead of this.

Re: We really need a spoilers tag

Stop saying to use invisible text. What's wanted is something to collapse, and take up less room.

Thank you. Invisible text won't help at all.

Re: We really need a spoilers tag

I've changed my mind actually, I guess it would be useful. It can get annoying when there's a really long post I'm not interested in.

Re: We really need a spoilers tag

I could make an extension (actually, I already have, for a different forum) that allows collapsing of quote and code boxes. If people put the stuff in a quote, it would be collapsible.  smile

That would be cool! I'll see if my parents will let me download it (they don't like me downloading stuff) when you make it  smile

I agree. I just don't think It's a necessity.
