Spoiler Button in Quick Reply

lymond · Mar 17, 2011

I had posted a comment regarding adding the Spoiler button to the Quick Reply task bar in this recent thread:

http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=414152

However, since my comment was added after the mods addressed the OP request, I think my request was overlooked.

As mentioned, the Spoiler button is the button I used the most BY FAR. I reckon to assert that many others use this button quite frequently as well. Since the Quick Reply task bar appears to have a lot of space, I think it would be a really good idea to add the Spoiler button.

It would be greatly appreciated.

thanks

Agreed!

This would certainly help, and the Quick Reply bar isn't exactly cluttered atm, but is it really that hard to type [spoiler=lol]rofl[/spoiler] every time you want to spoil something?

I think a YouTube button would be better, since most people have to ask how to embed videos.

Hard, no, time consuming, yes.

That's really annoying. Please don't do that again.

That would be so much better, than the spoiler, since it is easy to type.

[spoiler] is really that much easier to type than [youtube]?

Or you could just add both buttons. I find typing tags in general to be a nuisance. Not everyone is adept at the keyboard.

Anyway, I hope this thread eventually gets the attention of the staff

Admins.... mods can't make changes to the pages.

I generally go to advanced reply over typing out the spoiler code, but yeah I'd appreciate this feature anyways. If I had to choose, I'd much rather have the option for spoilers rather than the smiley box or the insert link button, since I can put type these out on my own much easier.

I might get around to it... but its not a priority. Most people know the codes for both of these things, and if they don't, there is always the BB code link on every page.

Abaddon · Mar 24, 2011

I hope you find the time to add a load.. there is a heck of space available on that "bar"

Nicol.Bolas · Mar 24, 2011

yeah, I agree with this....

100% time I go into advanced mode os for the spoiler button
it useful

also used for images, and spoilers in public games

You would be surprised that a lot of people still do not know how the youtube functions works, so they get confused when trying to use it, so there have been plenty of attempts at explaining it to people. Also you did not need the no parse for the above statement, since you are not finishing any vB code.

A lot of the problems which people have with the
Link to video.

Hygro · Mar 28, 2011

I find it a lot easier to type

I totally support the youtube and spoiler buttons in quick reply.

It's much easier to type the one letter codes for bold, itallic and underline.

In addition, the advanced reply should include more of the BB codes that are allowed, but not present. A lot of people probably aren't aware of the huge amount of layout, design and functionality of codes.

Just going back to the list, I never noticed the google or definition codes.

A subscript, superscript and strike out button would be cool in advanced.

Hello Staff -

I'm bumping my OP request to hopefully get some attention to this issue. I would really appreciate the addition of a spoiler button to the quick reply bar. I use the spoiler option very frequently as do many on the forum. Thank you for your attention.
