Spoilers leak on forum

deadfraggle · 08-04-2010, 06:33 PM

This may be a known issue, but text I tagged as spoiler content in this thread, can be seen in popup box on the main page of Sub-Forums : Hint Requests and Technical Problems. (The popup happens when you hover the cursor over the link.)

If it's easier, I can edit the post with more safe text near the beginning.

Btw, this a great forum you guys have set up here. It has a nice colour scheme, that's very agreeable with the eyes. Thanks.

Wow -- very diligent of you!

I edited the title to reflect that there are spoilers. In theory that will prevent someone who doesn't want this bit spoiled from hovering their cursor over the link. And if it doesn't... well, at least we tried.

This is a limitation of the vbulletin software. The previews are in plain text so any formatting (such as spoiler tags) doesn't take effect in the preview.

But it must be possible to strip spoiler marked text from the pop-up before the tags are stripped from it, right? (It should even be easy, but I don't have any vbulletin experience, so I don't know if it is or not.)

Spoiler tags also don't appear in the e-mail notifications. You can always read everything there. Which is normal, I guess, since those automated e-mail bodies probably don't support html.
