Uhmm. I'm not sure if this is very signifigant, but under the clover skin, in mozilla firefox, the spolier tags don't properly cover the text. I'm not sure if it's signifigant enough, but I have had one or two spoliers accidently spoiled to me, and it was slightly disheartening. And I do like this clover layout. But that was just my problem.

Any means of adressing it?

I use Mozilla, and I have the problem only when someone quotes a spoiler.

spoiler[This spoiler is blacked out]

Quote:
spoiler[The text is grey here, and visible]


Is that what you were talking about?

I have the same problem with the quoted spoilers, using Opera 7.0.

Not quite. It happens only under the clover skin (although I've only tried the main one and the clover), and it happens with any spoiler at all. Quoted or not. The problem is non existant in IE (but ew.), but it happens in Firefox. Dunno. I was just stating it. I use Firefox as my normal browser, but it does kinda dishearten me to see spoilers when I don't wanna.

So, how is the spoiler appearing for you? I see a black background with dark grey text. The text is visible, but I can avoid looking at it.

My guess is that the spoiler tags use Microsoft's version of HTML, so they only display properly in IE Evil or Very Mad

Edit: I have seen a few quoted spoilers NOT displaying the text for me however. I think that there is a way to cover it up...

Let's see.
spoiler[Normal spoiler, does it show up?]

Quote:
spoiler[Quoted spoiler, does it show up?]


Now both of those are covered for me, how do they look to you?

I had to change the default colour to black inside the spoiler tags.

Now they look like spoiler tags, inside and out of the quotes. No longer does it look like the above example, where the spoiler text is visible, due to being gray.

It would be great if it could be implimented into the board features somehow. Since not everyone uses IE.

These work for me. Well, have they been applied yet though?

This problem was brought up in the forum before and nothing was done. Actually, I was the one who brought it up.

animenewsnetwork.com/bbs/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=5207

Perhaps something will be done soon, now that we know the problem. The Default colour is different depending on your browser. Can it be specifically set to black?

(%*"&%/?&!

The color WAS specifically set to black. Except there was a "/*%&? typo. "`color:black" instead of "color:black"

grmblblrgrmblrgrrr
