Frankly, your spoiler mod is kind of hacky

[Maratanos]

Look at a couple of these scenarios:

Google (http://www.google.com)

And this:

Google (http://www.google.com) extra text

and look how the text of the URL becomes invisible even when I reveal the spoiler, and I visit the link rather than reveal the spoiler when I click on the link portion.

And you can't turn the spoiler hiding back on if you want to

You'll have to quote the post to see what I did.

Can we have a better spoiler implementation?

And code tags that turn off interpretation of BBcode?

So they don't look like:

Google (http://www.google.com)

Personally though valid issue, I feel that the TellTale staff better use their time for continued development of their games, rather then worry about minor glitches on a forum.

Besides, how often are you going to put a spoiler tag with a hyper link in it (Sam didn't we see this on http://www.google.com) . I do see the possible malicious use for it...but I also can see a possible malicious use of a butter knife.

[Maratanos]

No, the problem I'm getting at is when, say, I want to show a link to another thread, but that thread is a spoiler... So I'd like to be able to put that link in a spoiler... But I can't properly right now...

I don't care nearly as much about the code issue, though, just for the record. But last I checked, Telltale has several people for whom their entire job is to do things like this. ;)

Though it may not improve performance, I think our spoiler mod adds a certain attitude that you just can't get from stock parts.

Originally I thought it would be a very simple fix, but looks like you can't define a, a:hover in an inline style. Can still be a somewhat workable mod, but you'd have to script up something to look for all a tags within the span tag and add styles to them.


From:
<span style="color:white; background-color:white; cursor: help;
border: 1px #5656ef dashed;"
onclick="this.style.backgroundColor='transparent';
this.style.color='black';">
<a href="http://www.google.com" target="_blank">
Google</a></span>

To:
<span style="color:white; background-color:white; cursor: help;
border: 1px #5656ef dashed;"
onclick="this.style.backgroundColor='transparent';
this.style.color='black';">
<a href="http://www.google.com" target="_blank"
style="color:white; background-color:white; cursor: help;
border: 1px #5656ef dashed;"
onclick="this.style.backgroundColor='transparent';
this.style.color='blue';">
Google</a></span>

It's fine if you don't want to change it, but I know that there are other spoiler mods out there for vBulletin that do a better job, because I frequent another board that uses vBulletin, and it has an entirely different spoiler mod.

In case you're interested, it's www.giantitp.com/forums (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/)

I'm fairly lazy... can you point me to a thread there with a spoiler?

Ours is homespun by Doug, and was done in a matter of minutes.

Here's a thread (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=34612) and a specific post (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1999623&postcount=8). That forum has the coolest avatars! :)

I know Deep Silver forums has the hide/show thing (http://forum.deepsilver.com/showthread.php?t=19837) too. I'm just showing the examples by the way and not entering the debate as to the functionality of Doug's home PHP cooking (which is very tasty I'm sure). :p

Ah those are cool. I prefer having spoilers display inline in the middle of your sentences, though, which those don't do.

[Maratanos]

That site has a couple really cool webcomics, too.

Actually--my code is bad.

Well, if you like yours better, that's fine by me. Just pointing out that there are easily accessible alternatives.

[Jake]

I'm not saying it couldn't be improved :P It was whipped up by Doug fairly quickly so that we'd have one at all. I just like certain aspects of ours better than others.
