Opticraft Community

Spoilers are extremely helpful and important in a forum. It allows for easy organization while maintaining a small space to present all your information, without having to scroll down to view everything.


(I could have hid this HIDEOUS picture with a spoiler, so you don't have to ever see it against your will!)

for Example here and you will see that it's quite easy to scroll down & read the parts that you want to read.

It's also good for compressing images such as here (second post)

Mainly I'm asking for the spoilers because they can help me with my threads here (The list of cities) I can put spoilers under each city to display it's information, and with the compressed space, all the city's names can be seen, without anyone having to scroll down.

and for city threads such as this one I can easily hide the introductory text (With a spoiler of course) and spoiler the 'territory', the 'Stettin Public Radio' thing to group up all the information there, and I could easily & cleanly group up citizens & applications area.

Spoilers make it easy to organizing separate pieces of information (belonging to a main subject) Kind of like grouping up your work for school for example "school folder" then inside the school folder you have seperate folders for each topic, math, english ,science ect.

Also the examples I showed are SMF 2.0.2 | SMF © 2011, Simple Machines

Our forum uses SMF 1.1.16 (Part of the 1.1 series)
You can download the spoiler tags to add to the forums here!

as you can see they have different versions for separate versions of the 1.1 series (Which we do have)

So pretty please? Can we see this button?

Would be nice to have, I wouldn't put it at the top of the list of things to do though.

I agree that would be a good idea but...the only place I've seen spoilers was a forum for a book.

What do you think this is? not a forum? and I just provided a download link after nyssa's message was posted. So this is an incredibly easy thing to do (Or so I assume)

Well for Opti being so busy with work and the ps bug and everything else he has to do it wouldn't be top of the list, he could find a minute to do it I suppose.
I don't know if dejected could do it or not though.

I have a new thread that will be coming up in a week or three, and it will be extensive, and would have a mess that would only be fixed by adding the 'spoiler' tag buttons.

A reaaaaally extensive thread, with a few history paragraphs, a few rules paragraphs, a collection of pictures, and an application forum, and so on and forth (if you know what I'm talking about please don't mention it. and If you don't know, don't ask)

I'm pretty sure this wouldn't take that long.

Submitting an essay? Perhaps about how, scientifically, playing on Opticraft has been proven to increase lifespan and general health?

JK. But anyways, extensive threads sound interesting, I wonder what it's gonna be

It only increases lifespan and general health when you aren't on the staff XD

I'd like to test that theory personally

it'd be nice to have

Along with a way to help reduce the quoting of long posts...

i would love it for hiding pics so you dont have to remove the [img/] [img] things so you could just put it in a /spoiler and it would be clickable

Well for images it would be as usualy

It would be

[spoiler] [image no longer available]

[image no longer available]

[image no longer available]  [/spoiler]

then you click the spoiler, and all the images pop out, you click the spoiler again, and it hides all of them, so you don't have to scroll down.

Give spoilers

Still waiting
