To avoid SPOILERS...

[OzQueen]

I thought it would be a good idea to post how to "hide" spoilers - especially as some people (like poor us here in Australia) are behind and haven't seen the latest episodes of certain shows.

It's a good idea to post anything that can be considered a spoiler in the same colour font as the background on the forum

To do this:

Type your message as normal, only when you're done, enclose it in colour tags with the colour prompt: #cecece

That way, people have to highlight what you've written in order to see it, and nobody will be spoiled. To see what I mean, highlight below:

Hello! No spoilers here... yet... MWAHAHAHAHA. But see how it's just about impossible to read unless you're highlighting this? It may vary from screen to screen, but it should help a lot when it comes to avoiding spoilers...

If you're still not sure how the [COLOR] tags work, just remove the * symbols from this example, and you'll get it

[color*=#cecece]I thought it would be a good idea to post how to "hide" spoilers - especially as some people (like poor us here in Australia) are behind and haven't seen the latest episodes of certain shows.[*/color]

Keep in mind that the font colour will not work on the background after you've quoted someone - if you quote someone, you'll reveal what they say - so please keep that in mind!

Feel free to use this thread to practice, if you think you need to

I am very, very clever

No, I took a screenshot and pasted it into PSP, and used the dropper tool to find the colour It's not exact, but it's definitely close enough.

I hope I don't sound too bossy I just really hate being spoiled for things, so thought it would be a good idea to let everyone know how to hide their posts...

Thanks for taking the time to sort that out Lisa, as it's nice not to read the spoilers if you haven't yet seen it

[Mathias]

Great idea Lisa, thanks!

Just bumping this so people are aware of the sneaky way to avoid spoilers

[Zzzzz...]

Is it possible to sticky this thread?

EDIT: ah nevermind.

because on september, it's often the begining of new season for a lot shows, and it's such complicated for several topic, when all members can't see the new episods
