vB Code

I read in the vB Code help page that u can do something like this

[color=blue]some text[/color]

and the text will become blue.

I try this when I want to post a message that contain some spoilers, but the text sill remain the same black color. Why is it so?

I think this function is very useful. People who want to post spoilers can post in a lighter color so that others who don't know the plot beforehand won't accidentally read it.

Kidd,

I believe SC disabled that coloring feature, for what reason? I don't know.

But I think you can still make "Spoiler" in bold or italics or underline and it'll still draw attention to ppl who don't want to read spoilers and such.

The reason I want color fonts is not to draw attention but to avoid attention.

Evn though I put "Spoiler" on top of my post, when viewers scroll down, they can still catch a glimpse of the content. I want color font to make the content lighter (e.g. in gray or white color) so that people will not accidentally catch a glimpse of it. People who want to know the spoiler can highlight the text to read it.

That's what most people do in other forums. Some forums even have [spoiler] tag specifically for users to hide spoiler.

Hmmm ... you could put in Bold and/or Italics an "END OF SPOILER" at then end of your spoiler. This way, when people scroll down, they'll know when the spoiler ends, and then continue reading from there.
