Can't use Spoiler tags or change size of text

Postby MarsGodofWar » Fri Apr 30, 2021 2:05 am

I've seen other people do it, but I've been unable to do it myself. Sometimes it would be useful to shrink a thread by putting certain information into spoilers. I would also like to be able to increase the size of text for a title etc. I've tried to do it, but whenever I insert either one in, they show up fine when I preview my post but then get instantly removed as soon as I've submitted.

What a load of crap lol. I just want to be able to use spoilers to shorten my threads and hide information that not everyone may want to see. Not like using a spoiler is super important, but its useful so why do I have to be trusted?

The tag got moved for Trusted Users only due to previous forum breaking incidents that happened because of it.

Go to User Control Panel -> Usergroups

Then select the Trusted Users group from the non-memberships section and apply to join it with the menu in the bottom-right corner

You need at least 150 posts to join, although I'm not sure if that means 150 counted posts or just 150 posts in general

You have to be sure that you are trusted within the community.
That means
    No suspensions.
    150+ counted posts.
I already don't qualify...
Serial Killer has killed the TT Jailor... and now the Town has congratulated that serial killer for no reason.
That TT Jailor has a will covered in blood, making it unreadable...
Since there is no medium, the town lost to the SK.

I'm pretty sure that the reason that spoilers are restricted to trusted users is because there's a way to break the forums by using spoilers in conjunction with the quote bbcode

You can also do this:

Wow, I didn't know that was possible. I also never heard of the spoiler tag incident. When did that happen?

This information wasn't featured in the original trusted users post. Shouldn't the mods edit it? https://www.blankmediagames.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=25363

Not sure when it originally happened, but I've seen a few cases where people have used various trusted-locked bbcodes to break the forums

iirc there's a thread where Munch posted an image so large that you can't see the posts after it

How about allowing me to use spoiler tags and change my chat size without me being added to a group?

You can write the part you want to hide in word or some other text processor, take a screenshot, upload it on imgur or some other site and then link it in your post.

The tags in question were restricted due to porn and gore spammers, and will not be allowed outside of the Trusted Users group.

You may apply when you have 150 quality-acceptable posts.

As an update; I got with TurdPile and I changed the permissions for Registered Users. This wasn't actually meant to be restricted in the first place as we did some digging, however it's been like this for over a year so when it was done was unknown.

Apologies, you should be able to use the BBCode you couldn't before.

lemme test this real quick since iirc the size bbcode was visible to non-trusted users in the editor before, but couldn't actually be used

Spoiler: giurahfigrhaiughraiuhriugaehpirgae

aaaaa




#3593546 (this was moderator-exclusive before iirc)




Any chance that trusted users can be allowed to use the votecount bbcode on top of this?

Edit: The time and countdown bbcodes don't seem to be working properly. Even copying it from a post where it actually works (made by a trusted user) didn't help

The time and countdown BBCodes work correctly, I tested as both staff and non. In both instances it worked fine in Preview. Double-check and make sure you're using the correct formats.

I don't think we will be messing with VoteCount until certain discussions are held, among other things.

EDIT: Also, I'm unsure of why post was granted to everyone, but go nuts within the forum rules, I guess. :BlobPeek:

On closer inspection, the issue appears to be the fact that I'm using Firefox instead of Chrome

I am also using FireFox, and it's working correctly for me.

What exactly is the issue? It just doesn't show, or?
