Spoiler Tag Issues?

Hey Lady O, have you gotten any info regarding spoiler tag issues on the message board? There seem to be glitches. Sometimes we can't see long posts or large pics we put in spoiler tags and sometimes the tags don't close at all (see my sig).

I'll keep you updated.

Are the spoilers working for everyone now?

If not, tell me what browser and version you are using.

They only work if you hover above the very top (just a sliver of it is available to click.) And once you do click it, you can only close it by doing the same thing. So I guess it 'works', but not like it used to for me. Firefox 3.6.3

im using an older version of firefox and the tags don't seem to work -.-

I am having the same problems as Star-Chan. My browser is Google Chrome.

Using IE8, spoiler tags work, but only if you click on the top...somewhere...which in a way is good because you can cut and paste info from the spoiler without it closing automatically on you in the process.

I think it works if you click on the "SPOILER" word itself (the area is a small box around the word). It used to be, any spoiler box opens and closes as long as you click anywhere inside the box.

Maybe they fixed it to the smaller area because, when viewing really big spoiler content, it automatically closes the box if you accidentally click on the content itself (or even the box background).

This is what it's supposed to do now.

Are people having problems with that?

Much better now. It kind of irked me that the spoilers would close if you click anywhere inside them (made it very difficult for links).

Also, the spoiler seems to open, not just by clicking the word "Spoiler", but anywhere on that 'line' of text, which I like personally, since I don't have to zero my mouse in on the word.

Also, before you had to click the little unopened 'box' itself, so for my part (latest version of Firefox/Mac OS) everything is working great.

I don't know if anybody else is experiencing this again, but the same wierd spoilertag issue is happening on this computer today. Just a heads up if it starts happening to anybody else.

yeah, I seem to be having the same problem now too :\

Me too. Can't open any.

I use Firefox, don't know if it's because of that. :/

Same here, it started today for me.

I've let forumotion know. Other boards are having the same problem.

Looks like we are stuck with non-working spoiler tags till then, guys

Oh dear. Thanks for the update, though. We will just have to deal with it until then.

Funny. I was getting ready to come on here and say this exact same thing.

But yay, I can't wait until the spoiler tags are fixed! The suspense was killing me!

They're fixed for me now. Is anyone still having problems?

Well it seems like it's back to how it was a while ago, where if you click on anything inside the spoiler, it closes. But that's close enough to normal, right?

It works for me =D
Thanks for keeping us updated Lady O!

They are fixed for me now; thanks, Lady O! :D

all fine and working for me now. thanks for the update!
