Nowt to do with NXT, but how do you enable 'spoilers' in these websites? I can only add img or urls to mine but want a scrolling, readable page.

Use the following.

Code: Select all

[spoiler]Here is a spoiler, but I put it into code tags so you could see the syntax.[/spoiler]
Is that what you want?

Yes, but whereas the 'spoiler' tab appears above input pages in this website, it does not appear on mine. I was wondering how to activate it. I've been through all the admin stuff but cannot find any reference to this subject.

So that is not an option to click on to insert BB in a message you are typing? You don't need a handy little tab to insert it, you can just type it out. For a little while, I had to type out some of the ones I used, simply because there wasn't a "tab", but they still worked. Perhaps I have misunderstood you though.

I will try the 'insert BB' option and see what happens. Thanks.

Assuming your website uses phpBB like this one it looks like the spoiler code requires that you install this mod:

Do you run your own web site or is it hosted, if it is hosted then I suspect you will have to ask your web host to install the mod.
