[QUOTE="Fangor the Fierce, post: 6743001, member: 17100"] Ok, new post - something that hopefully helps you all out. There is a Spoiler feature enabled which means you can use (sblock) text goes here (/sblock) to allow you to write out information, notes, etc that is only displayed if the reader clicks the Spoiler button. Just replace the parenthesis with brackets [] to get it to work. I used to be a forum moderator on another site, and these tips are coming back slowly one by one. Example: [sblock]Congrats, you have clicked the Spoiler button. Wish there was more to offer, except to note that you can click a button![/sblock] [sblock=Don't Click This Button] Well, apparently, some people can't read. Then again, I would have clicked it too ;) [/sblock] By default, if you just use the standard spoiler feature, it displays it as SPOILER button. You can alter this text to anything you want it to show, such as DON'T CLICK THIS BUTTON. Just edit the (spolier=Don't Click This Button) and viola! In the past, we used it for Knowledge Checks, meaning instead of waiting for results, the DM could post : Make a Knowledge Local Check for Results: [sblock=Result less than 15]You realize that your futile attempts to learn about this region might be better served swinging a wooden sword. You couldn't tell if this was a town or a hovel...[/sblock][sblock=Results 15 through 20]You know that the local rainfall makes the raining season one to remember.
