Thanks

timshelboy write your message and then highlight the part you want to spoiler …. Just like you do when cutting and pasting. (left click mouse and a blue bar will appear.) Then, while It is highlighted in blue, click the spoiler button …which you already know about. and VOILA it will appear on screen before sending as [spooler] hidden message [/spooler] only with spoiler instead of spooler

Here is how you do it...
[poiler]text here[/poiler]
NOTE: add a 's' in front of 'poiler' text so it reads 'spoiler'.

Or you could do it like this:
[spoiler]This text would be hidden.[/spoiler]

The spoiler function only works intermittently for me at the best of times.

The spoiler function only works intermittently for me at the best of times. you might be using it properly only intermittently The method I outlined for tim works !

Fucked if I know what's going on.
That's never happened before - at least not to me.

this is weird ant-mac all I do is highlight and the use the spoiler key. OR I type in using the [] keys {spoiler} the message to conceal and {/spoiler} either way works. IF it doesn't, I edit post, put on BBC Code and see where things went wrong. Ain't technology grand ?

timshelboy since your spoiler difficulty has been solved … would you mind editing the thread title so it says something along the line of Spoiler Function Solved …. Please and thank you

Testing a Theory
testing
TEST indicate that what is POSSIBLY happening is that the spoiler button is being clicked more than one time … results in multiple covers.
in this case ^^^^^^ three times

Dunno what else to suggest … ant-mac Either highlight and spoiler key ONCE or writing in [(bracket) spoiler (bracket)]message [(bracket) / spoiler (bracket)] Heck .. if even can do it .. how difficult can it be ?
