Hello!
I've now seen two instances of the spoiler box showing the guidelines for formatting your text not opening up.
One person is using Safari. I'm using Opera. here
But the instructions that appear below the text box isn't opening up.
+1 for FireFox
Not working in Vivaldi either. I click the Show button, literally nothing happens.
In the meantime can we compile what we remember of the formatting?
This is what I remember, all with square brackets instead of curly ones.
URL - {url="http link"}text overlay{/url}
Bold - {B}Bolded Text{/B]
Italics - {I}Italic Text (/I}
Smaller Text - {Smaller}Text{/Smaller}
Rolling Dice - {Dice=Text for title} (number)d(sides)+modifier{/Dice}
Out of Character - {OOC}OOC text{/OOC}
I know there was one for larger text, but I can't remember it.
Any others?
newest version of firefox not working
newest version of firefox not working
Seems to be not working pretty universally. My guess is it is a problem with the site, not with any browser. Somebody broke something.
Doesn't work for me either
They're really slow at fixing this. Temporarily, here's what I remember. There doesn't seem to be an escape character for BBCode, so I can't do this exactly the way it's done when the button is working.
Use these tags with a closing tag (the same tag but you put a forward slash / in the closing tag)
[x] stuff [/x]
[b] bold
[i] italic
[s] strike through
Quotes and links are autoclosing for me, so I'm leaving off the ending square bracket
[quote
or
[quote=source
[url
or
[url=xyz.com] If you use this one, the words before the closing tag will appear in blue and function as a link.
[spoiler
or
[spoiler=label]
If there's some I missed, let me know and I'll supply them

It is not easy to maintain a platform with such a high traffic as Paizo.com so just be patient. Meanwhile we can just remove the "expandInlineBlock" missing function from the html code (F12 to open your browser dev tools) to see this:

dice=Perception]1d20 + 3; 1d6 + 2/dice] This is a dice expression.
the bigger tag isn't working in chrome
smaller
in that it is bigger than smaller... but smaller than normal text
The button doesn't work for me, either.
Likewise, this button doesn't work for me (using Chrome, on a Mac OS).

Bigger/smaller tag isn't working for me either, which is a bit of a problem as I need bigger text for PBP I am co-GMing and now I need to put that post on hold. Quite frustrating.
Thanks Dean!
I had only noticed the problem because I was trying to explain to someone new to the forums how to format their text. And lo and behold, your site's wonderful little "how to" button wasn't working. :(
I appreciate your team looking into it! :)
Yeah, it still doesn't work for me.
Lucky for me I memorized most of them.
Can confirm, still not working.
Re-confirmed. Not working here either (Firefox).

Hey folks, we apologize for the delay. This issue should now be resolved. If you run into it again in the future, please let us know.
Something similar is happening again I think.

Another person I was talking to said they had the same thing in another game and it was also the second spoiler in the post.

It's likely to be a typo in your post. Here's the explanation
So, I had this issue recently, and it was caused by my own mistake. In my case, the second spoiler wouldn't open because I hadn't closed an italic or bold effect in the previous spoiler. I noticed that you're using bold text in both of your first spoilers, so maybe confirm that you're using a closing tag? I realize that too much time has passed to confirm if that's the issue for the two examples you've posted.

Its not, I checked. As did the other players that this has happened to.
