Forum "to do" list.

[Mario]

This is a to do list for this forum:

1. Allow members to close their own topics in the Flea Market section. (For when sales/trades are complete.) (Make permanent note/sticky about this change.)
2. Upgrade software to v3.8.3 (or higher)
3. Edit some styles to different colors.
4. Upgrade software to v3.8.6 (or higher)
5. When time permits, finish fixing the excessive spacing in the TDU readme.
   
6. When time permits, CAPITALIZE sub-paragraphs 14-15-16 of the EULA in the TDU2 readme. Excellent!
7. Finish editing posts that include self hosted assets to point to secure hypertext transfer protocol links.

WOW, looks like you have done just that recently. The new colors are very nice and pleasant.

Today I implemented a simple but effective spoiler BB Code. (Actually two.) In case you are not aware what forum spoiler codes are, they are a method of hiding in plain sight, words or complete paragraphs of text. You may want to use this code when talking about movies or games and do not want to give away endings or spoil certain parts for others who may not have watched or played those titles.

Example:

Neil McCauley is Robert De Niro's character in the movie Heat. He dies at the end of the movie. (Without spoiler.)

Neil McCauley is Robert De Niro's character in the movie Heat. He dies at the end of the movie. (With spoiler type 1. Just hover your mouse cursor over to reveal the hidden text.)

Neil McCauley is Robert De Niro's character in the movie Heat. He dies at the end of the movie. (With spoiler type 2. Just highlight the black section to reveal the hidden text.)


To use these spoiler codes, simply put [sp] or [sp2] (depending which type you prefer) at the beginning of the block of text you wish to hide, and put [/sp] or [/sp2] at the end of the text you wish to hide.

Example:

If you wanted to write: The winner of today's race was Tommy Brown., but you wanted to hide his name, the exact text that you would write in your post would look like:
The winner of today's race was [sp]Tommy Brown[/sp].
After posting, (or in preview mode) it will look like:
The winner of today's race was Tommy Brown.

In the future, I may add buttons for this and other new codes, like there are for bolding or underlining text for example. At the moment you have to actually type the code yourself.

Just checking to see if the spoilers work when quoted. They do - nice.
