Suggestion for the Spoiler feature

[Andostre]

Hi, Paizo team. I have a suggestion for the spoiler feature that improves readability: Indent the spoilers. Or give them a slightly colored background or some other way of distinguishing the spoilered text from the text that follows.

For example:

xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx
xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx

xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx
xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx

xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx
xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx

xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx
xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx

xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx
xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx

xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx
xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx

Sometimes I find it difficult when reading a spoiler to know when the spoilered text that I'm reading ends and when the regular text begins. Obviously, context is the key indicator, but I've also been known to open and close the spoiler text a couple times to note when the regular text begins so that it's clear what the author intended to be spoilered and what they intended to be regular text. I hope you'll consider it.

Hey, you know what? That's a pretty good idea. Done! :)

[Andostre]

Dang! That was fast! Thanks!

Yay! A new feature! Well a tweak, but a good one.

Thank you Chris! :D

[Chris Lambertz]

You're welcome! I don't have a lot of powers to do these things, but am happy to assist when/where I can :)

Hi Paizo, I'm sure you guys are busy tweaking the new boards, but I'm reviving this thread because it seems my request regarding spoilers from this thread's original post was undone. I really appreciated the differentiation in spoiler text, and it seemed like an easy change for you to make at the time, so I thought I'd request it, again. Thanks.

[Chris Lambertz]

D'oh you're right! I've added this to our list of regressions. We should have that plugged back in fairly quickly.

[Andostre]

Thank you!

I have a habit of closing spoilers after I finish reading them, and for no apparent reason. I think I'm trying to satisfy some back-of-the-brain impulse to clean up after myself.

I always do this and one day realised it was to make sure I didn’t leave it open for other paizonites who don’t want to have the thing spoiled.
