Forum Etiquette

[Mateo Latosa]

This is just a reminder to everyone. If your post contains spoilers, please put the word SPOILERS in your subject line and in your post. Follow the word with a healthy bit of spoiler space before you start posting informaton that could be classified as a spoiler.

There are lots of surprising turns in our novels, unexpected revelations, etc. Everyone has the right to learn about them when they read the books.

Feel free to talk about anything in the books–that’s what the forum is for–BUT please let people know when a spoiler is coming. Give them enough space to avert seeing something accidentally.

THANKS!

Does this forum’s engine not support hiding spoilers with blank space or a button? Most fora have a tag that can be used to do that, because people scrolling down to make or read a new post might well scroll past both spoiler space and spoilers on the way…

I’ve seen people on this forum post hidden text that only appears when you click on an icon. I know it is possible, but I have no clue how to do it.

Anyone want to share the process?

In the toolbar above when you’re making a post, look for the box with the little green arrow…

Put your text between the “spoiler” tags.

[spoiler]This is hidden.[/spoiler]

That’s the thing I meant – this is your forum, not mine, but I’d suggest making that the required spoiler thing, rather than just spoiler space.

Ah, I see it now!

[spoiler]Easy.[/spoiler]
