Are you maybe using buffistas.net, quester?
I'm going to see to Wesley, see if he's still whimpering.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
Yes, Dana, that is the address I'm at. Is it the wrong one?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
buffistas.net is the test site. Untrustworthy code. Use buffistas.org.

Ah! I bet that would explain it! Glad I asked. Of course, I should have asked awhile ago. D'ho!
Thanks for the help!

Quester, when you say you were using buffistas.net, you don't mean buffistas.net, right? So what URL were you using?

Hmmm, that doesn't look like the one I was on. I was at a place that was identical to buffistas.org, and all of the posts I made while there are visible here. It was some weird doppleganger board.

One thing I've noticed is that some users are using "font color equals white" tags to post in-line spoilers. If people are using the personal css feature like I am with a black background and gray text, then the spoilers show up in blazing white characters instead of being hidden.
Rather than try to change the humans, this regular expression will replace those font tags with the appropriate span tag.
$string = 'the actor on tonights show is <font color="white">sooper seekrit</font> !!';
$pattern = '/<font color=([\\"\\']*?)white([\\"\\']*?)>(.*?)<\\/font>/is';
$replacement = '<span class="spoiler">$3</span>';
preg_replace($pattern, $replacement, $string);
Just a suggestion.

I think some people actually consider the visiblity of spoiler text a feature rather than a bug. But maybe they could just modify the spoiler tag in their style sheet? I am not knowledgeable enough.
And whoa, gray on black? I bet that looks trippy.

Principle-wise I'd rather change humans. I try and point it out whenever I see it, so we all play nice together.

But putting in font=white tends to ensure invisibility for the poster, and those people who have made spoilers visible with css can't see them unless they've also changed their background colour.
o, I don't think it's rude to point it out when you see it, if you couch it right.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Yeah, and it makes the font tag kind of spoiler font kind of annoying. (I have my spoilers set to grey so I can see them, but if someone hard codes theirs to white, I have to highlight.)
