Can you read it? It's quite good isn't it. My oh my, I like the blacked out text godness. It looks a bit like the ship out of 2001 a space oddysey.

How do I do that for spoiler purposes in e.g. Film, TV & Theatre?

There's a thread that explains how over in Policy.

Nice idea for spoilers

its a tag with, b style="background: rgb(0, 0, 0) none repeat scroll 0%; font-weight: normal; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial;" inside it.

Hmmm lets see if works now does it?

That's just {b style="background-color: black; color: black; font-weight: normal;"}text{/b} simply replace {} with < and >

I actually think this is great. We can sort of write secret messages and stuff. Oh joy. The thing is...

I can never think of anything actually worthwhile to write. Still, this will be good if we ever need write spoilers, yeah.

Can someone put it on the FAQ?

yes.
you can!

I'm afraid of editing the FAQ in case I cock it up.

that's the beautiful thing about it...
you cant fuck it up so bad it cant be fixed in seconds.
isnt there a variation of this that renders the text invisible?
like, by matching the barbe-backdrop?
colours are #8193A8 and #ADB8C5, i think.
view>source should tell you.

It's really fucking ugly, though. Like, *really* fucking ugly.

17:53 / 06.06.05

Damn it! You made me "view source", and now my eyes hurt. Such things aren't meant for the eyes of mere mortals.

fridgemagnet

17:55 / 06.06.05

if you just want to hide the text you can use visibility: hidden; or display: none; and only people who view the source code can read it

like this bit here, I knew somebody would look at the source

*SPOILER* your mum is a gigantic whore

now that's security

Let's hope that it doesn't have to be pointed out that this shouldn't be done in other threads until Tom okays it. Or not, as the case may (hopefully) be.

Fridgemagnet, take that back! You kiss my mother with that mouth?

18:21 / 06.06.05

With a name like mine, I suppose this is expected, but may I add that this kind of thing (especially "invisible text") can breed mistrust and discontent in a community. Should we all have to keep viewing the source code of each page just to make sure we're not missing something?

21:07 / 06.06.05

Emm... you don't have to view the source code, you just highlight the box and the text shows.

Ariadne

21:07 / 06.06.05

or maybe I misunderstood? as you were, ignore me!

Stoatie. Stoatie? STOATIE.

21:57 / 06.06.05

See this thread?

See that little round thing miles below that it whooshes past?

That's my head, that is.

Just go up to edit and hit "select all." That highlights it.

I agree that it would be useful for spoilers. People over at Game Banshee do it all the time.

Of course, the idea of using this sort of code for subliminal messages of any kind should be mentioned only to be condemned.

Revealed secrets get old, and profaned they lose their charm. Therefore do not throw your pearls before swine, or give roses to the donkey.

And what does your quote mean?
