Title: Is there any way of changing spoilers?
Post by: Failure McFailFace on June 25, 2014, 11:06:11 PM: For example, on the vBulletin forum software (the Kerbal Space Program forum is an example here), you can do this:

Which expands to this:

It also works with text.

On here, though, spoilers
look like this. Here's a test image: (http://i.imgur.com/ehAEwSz.png)

As you can see, images don't work with spoilers here. Is there any way for spoilers to change so that images can work in it?

Post by: Helepolis on June 26, 2014, 12:13:12 PM: Important to know: The spoiler tag, it self, is a BBS/Text mark-up. Logically it won't affect images summoned by the img mark-up.

Although, a lot of forums have the drop-down to view spoiler thing. I was slightly wondering the same regarding MotK. Though regarding images, I am not quite sure how the sizes/dimension act when in such system. To be honest it wouldn't be a bad idea though I am not quite sure whether it is supported by the forum code. TSO-chan / admins can only let us know.

Using quotes might be an acceptable alternative for image hiding without nsfw tags

e: Hey, it works! I think this makes a good stop-gap solution. Well spotted!

Thing is, once you've opened it, you can't close it, except for refreshing.

Very bad for me, since I have very slow internet right now....

Or use plain old url tag. (http://i.imgur.com/yNVnXLV.jpg) You can just open it in a new tab, unless your browser lacks that function.

Let me give a notice, though, that sometimes quoting images doesn't fold them, so that method doesn't always work.
I wonder if there's an intended pattern with this or I should have bugreported that.
Title: Re: Is there any way of changing spoilers?
Post by: Tengukami on July 15, 2014, 11:35:05 AM: I don't recall seeing this happen here since the change was made. Can you link to any examples?

URL tag should automatically pop open a new tab, no intervention required.

It should all be automatic, I'm not sure of any instances where this is ignored. Can you post me links to a few examples?

IMG tags that are embedded in URL tags will not be automatically hidden when quoted. Most notably seen in Minus.com's "Forum Code" link share.
Code: [Select]

Let's try that out:

e: When I quote that, I do still see the full image. But this doesn't seem like a major issue.

If you quote a post with multiple large images, you'll see where an issue can appear.

While it is technically a solution to strip the URL tags from the post/quote, since imgur, minus.com, etc. have IMGs embedded in URLs in their Forum Code templates, I can foresee scenarios where someone uses these templates to post multiple images, and then someone else quotes the post and inadvertently reposts all the images. I did that myself before editing my post.

This happens so rarely that I think SJs can just strip the image links out of the quotes themselves without having to re-write anything.

Fair enough.
