This code works on other HTML based websites and message boards, and you are starting to see it show up all over the place. From what I understand, it is a code you can write into the current settings. Basically, you create the UBB code by going in and formatting the current set up. You make [spoiler]text[/spoiler] tags, and have those tags create the text to use the same color as the background of the message board itself.

Basically and makes the forum display that text in italics, and makes it display the text in bold, ect ect. Well you add [spoiler]text[/spoiler] display the text in the same color as the background.

This makes it so you need to highlight the text in order to view it.

I can't see why this hack can not be performed in the UBB settings.

Is it possible?

Normally, yes. But we are UBB beta testers, which means we can't add hacks to the board. The advantage of being a beta tester, though, is that we get the UBB for free.

If you figure out how to do it can you add one for feedback that does whining tags

one problem with using this is that the background color has to be diff for each page/post...

i tried adding this on my message board, but the problem arises that i have two background colors during posts (like here) so which one do I use? also (for me at least) there is only one censored words list (where you would add [spoiler]=<font color="blue"> and [/spoiler]=</font>) so unless all background colors are the same (which is very boring...)

The spoiler tags used at this forum:

Actually make a black box to put black text in, regardless of the background. In fact, the background it a light color.

It just puts the text in a black box that you have to highlight to read.
