I know it sounds stupid.

like this
and it will look like this
Code:
[noparse][spoiler][/noparse]put stuff in the spoiler[noparse][/spoiler][/noparse]and it will look like this
put stuff in the spoiler
I don't want to spoil the party, but: I learned about that from trying to edit a post which contained a spoiler and reading the corresponding code/command - however (correct me if I'm wrong), there is no "spoiler" button in the post options (not even in the advanced ones), right...?
I know I never saw it, at least.

:facepalm:
...we've created a monster!
Seriously: I don't know, although I'm pretty sure you simply can't (re)name it. It will stay as [Show Spoiler] no matter what you do. But maybe Castellon or a mod has good news for you
You spoiled it I was going to tell him about the Spoiler.
ahhh
sorry nothing witty today
Why use the editor when you can write the code? The only thing I use the editor for is making tables since that is a chore to code up. And who was the tasteless man who made this forums tables? It is really bad form to have vertical lines in tables and preferrably there should only be a few horizontal lines; but proper tables are impossible to make in the forum.
What we really need is more hotkeys. ctrl b, ctrl u and ctrl i are fine. But we really need hotkeys for e.g. colours; or customizable hotkeys.
And perhaps make it possible for the forum to parse LaTeX code. It is really annoying to try and explain something which requires a mathematical expression without LaTeX parsing. Sure I could just write the LaTeX code, but as far as I know people who study the humanities doesn't use LaTeX much. Having LaTeX support would also solve the tables problem, since coding up tables in LaTeX is really simple.
Unless you edit the thread name within a few minutes of creating it (and before anybody else posts in it?) you cannot edit thread titles; only mods can.
Now that we are talking about forum features are you aware that you can make tables too?
Go advanced and use the WYSIWIG option. Then click table.
For instance this made up measurement of a sample of Am-238
[TD]Actvity [Bq][/TD]
[TR]
[TD]0.0[/TD]
[TD]4.0 \cdot 10^{13}[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]2.0 \cdot 10^{5}[/TD]
[TD]2.7 \cdot 10^{13}[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]3.0 \cdot 10^{7}[/TD]
[TD]1.0 \cdot 10^{-12}[/TD]
[/TR]
Though you can only make bad tables where you either is forced to have no boundaries or have vertical lines!
If you want to code a table then use
which gives the table I made; it is a chore to make tables that way though.
Oh and if you want to write code in a post then use
[/noparse][/code] to get the code box. And use
to have the forum not parse the code in case it is forum code you write.

Thank you!
Now, the reason I really joined was to check out the Polandball thread, but I can't due to missing permissions. Can someone help me by telling which subforum the thread is located in?
It is in the OT and unless you are an old user you need at least one game registered to see it. And I do mean old; you need to have registered before the game registrations were introduced as far as I know, so that is before ~2006; perhaps even 2005. I for instance isn't old enough, though I have only been here for 5 years, so I am still pretty new. It really is funny seeing people finding out that they are talking with people who registered before they were born. (The oldest still active non dev user is Slargos; he is member number 6 and registered in December 1999.)
And there are still many active posters with old accounts---i.e. registered ~2000--~2003.
I see. I'll register a couple of games next time I have access to my steam library. Thank you
Remember it is the CD codes and not steam codes you have to register; it also is a good idea to register all your games, since for newer games (made after ~2007) you need the game registered to see the FAQ, tech support, bug reports, mod subforum and perhaps also multiplayer subforum.I see. I'll register a couple of games next time I have access to my steam library. Thank you
