Seeing Spoiler Tags
Forum-Index → Suggestions → Implemented → Seeing Spoiler TagsWhen I searched a few things on the topic, I didn't find this yet, and I was debating rather to make this forum in "Other Suggestions" or "Communication." Mods, please move as you see fit. And please don't kill me if it was suggested before and I somehow missed it. Thank you! (;
Anyway, I had a small suggestion. I had always noticed this, whenever a said user wants to preview their forum (or PM) post (whether for typo and coding checks, or other reasons) they can. That is a helpful feature. But I've noticed you cannot open a spoiler tab in this mode.
Many may counter-act and say, " But ender, you could just put a space in the code and re-press preview so you can see what it will be like. " And while this is true, it would be much easier and nicer to preview it still inside the spoiler. Now I totally under-stand if Riako cannot/will not code that for reasons, so please let me know if that is so.
Otherwise, I'm open for debating.
And I also forgot to mention, I understand that said user could just post the forum post, and then edit it as needed. Again, this is 100% true. However, I think many could agree it'd be less of a hassle to be able to just view the containment of the spoiler(s) beforehand.
An incident-:
I use iPad and used notes to code out my shop. When I pasted all the codes on the forum, all the text disappeared. I posted on a help thread and there were BB code mistakes. Some users tend to make mistakes in BB code when you have to put a TON of them for their shops etc., etc.
Yes, that makes sense. And again, you've brought up an excellent point! When said user is coding a lot at once, mistakes are bound to happen. E.g., it is possible they checked everything using the preview feature, and thought it was good then posted it. It could be a while before they noted, they had made an error in the spoiler.
If it was me, I always check and edit my spoilers right after I make the post. Certain users may not be able to, or just don't.
I relate, commonly, to avoid long scrolling and lengthy posts I'll use spoilers.
And having to re-do it after posting is a hassle...

[quote=MemeTheWierdo]Full support! I always use the Spoiler BBCode when I make the rules and such for Roleplays. It gets extremely annoying when I have to click Post/Edit Post a lot, wondering if it'll even work.[/quote]
[quote=ImmatureGuy]The best suggestion I have seen in recent time!
I use spoilers for mostly images and if they don't work I have to see the long code again (argh)
Also, you could add the points pointed out by the users above in the main post![/quote][/center]
