Here's Another Toy For Us To Play With :bouncing:

[tex]

Hi All,

Notice that in the line of text enhancement options that are listed above the message composing window, when you are writing a post, a new button has been added at the right end. It says "Spoiler"

If you click on that button, and then enter some text, and then click on the "CLose Tags" link, (just below the text enhancement buttons), the text will be hidden behind a message, after your post is submitted to the board. When viewing a post with hidden text, just click on the message that is displayed, in order to reveal the hidden text. If you click on the message a second time, the text will be re-hidden. You can also hide text when you are writing a post, simply by highlighting the text that you wish to hide, and then clicking on the "Spoiler" button. The other BBCode enhancements also work with the Spoiler code. Here's an example:

[spoiler]This Text Is Hidden![/spoiler]

Here's an example of an image that has been hidden by using the Spoiler tag:

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

The new button doesn't show with the "quick reply".

It's there on the "post reply" one though.

Holy cow, you leave the country for a couple of months and good grief, changes galore. I have tried to catch up a little bit. Seems like some good news, some not so good. The trip to NY for Peggy and the graduation for Kait both sounded extra good.

Got to try the spoiler. I'm going to try to hide one of my favorite pictures from our trip. I took it in Slovenia.

On our trip everything went great until the last morning. We camped the whole time til the last night, when we stayed in a hotel because we had to get up at 5 a.m. to return the car and catch the plane. When we went to leave the hotel, the front door was locked! We left the key in the room (as we'd do in America) but it turns out in France (this hotel anyway) you need your key to open the door when no one's on duty. All the doors were locked, even the emergency exits. To make a long story short, we ended up going out a window. I am not the most agile, but with the proper motivation I can drop 5 feet to the ground with the best of them!

Kathy,

LOL. What a way to leave a hotel. I'll bet it isn't often that someone breaks out of a hotel.

By the way, that sure was a hairy kid in the stroller. LOL.

Thanks for sharing that.

Tex

P S Shirley, you are correct. None of these "added features" will work with the "Quick Reply" form.

That's a hoot, Kathy! I go to France every summer, and always have to get a taxi from my hotel at 5 am to catch the early Montpellier to Paris flight. I'm often on my own and don't speak French, so I have had nightmares about the possibilitiy of a senario like yours!!!! Looks like you handled it gracefully! Good going.

Wow!

That is magic!

The Old Family Physician

[spoiler]The old family physician being away on vacation, entrusted his practice to his son - a recent medical student. When the old man returned, the youngster told him among other things, that he cured Miss Ferguson, an aged and wealthy spinster, of her chronic digestive problems of D, muscle/joint pain, fatigue and depression.

"My boy," said the old doctor, "I'm proud of you, but Miss Ferguson's indigestion is what put you through college."[/spoiler]

Hahahahahahaha. That could easily be a true story. LOL.
