I want to write so people can't see what I write unless they hover over it. How do I make what I write covered in black so people can't see it unless they hover on it?

use the code

at the beginning of what you post, then put the same code with a / at the end like this [/spoiler  (only close off the square brackets)

(It's not a hover on this board, but a clickable thing that'll expand the spoiler text)

Edit: sorry - not clear - I meant put the '/' before the last 'spoiler' (as above)

spoiler <---Text-here---> /spoiler

just add the [ ] to spoiler

Or you could just post what you want to on the spoiler labeled forums and not have to worry about tagging it

Thank You! I just got it to work. But I did [ spoiler ] then [ /spoiler ]

No, please! I like to check some threads there and it's nice when people use spoiler tags.

 

Not that I'll blame anyone who doesn't, of course.

In addition to writing the spoiler tag yourself, you can also find the blue button at the top of the editor. It's the top line, third from the left, blue button. If you hover over it, it has the tool tip "Special BBCode".  Click the button and select "spoiler" from the menu. It will give you an edit field to enter your text and add the spoiler tags for you.

 

It is a little more time consuming than just adding the tag yourself but it has the advantage that it won't accidentally put the slash in the wrong place nor will it forget how to type the tag when you haven't done it for 6 months (though, that may be a moot point if you forget where the button is in six months, but hey, what are you gonna do?).

 

If I had access to the forum code, I would probably replace the other blue button, the 'twitter' button, with a dedicated spoiler button, but YMMV.

Just so that we're clear, spoilers do not belong in this forum.
