Spoiler Tags are not working properly

by Animeraider March 31st 2010, 4:52 am

First topic message reminder :

I use spoiler tags in nearly every topic in my forum (over 2,000 topics - almost all posted prior to the problem starting) and when you click on them now nothing shows up - which only started happening in the last 24 hours. Something has gone wrong with the spoiler tags. Is anyone looking into a fix?

Yumi_Jae, as sanket has said, the techies are aware of this, and are now working on it.
Just, that they don't work long weekends, or weekends.

A small suggestion for everyone, make sure your browser allows JavaScript (tools > Options), but the techs are working on it to fix it ASAP.

It seems more and more ppl having spoiler issues, lets hope they can fix it.

Yes, I also started having spoiler issues. Every one of my members has begun to have the same issues. I hope this gets fixed soon. The spoilers at my site just don't cover anything. They stay open, regardless of clicking, refreshing, clearing of cache/cookies, and on three different browsers, IE8, Firefox, and Chrome.

yh same here. They don't cover a single thing.

Hello,

Try to add in AP > Display > Colors > CSS stylesheet this :

Code:: .spoiler_content { display: block; } .hidden .spoiler_content { display: none; }

It should fix it for all version untill it's fixed by the techs for all forum.

Cordially.

and when i used Firefox, this what came out:

and, with Animeraider, ye, his spoiler is also like the one on my firefox preview

by Mael de Lioncourt April 3rd 2010, 7:26 pm

Thank you as well. That worked.

by Burukku April 3rd 2010, 11:11 pm

Thanks Etana, works for me Very Happy

by Cirrus April 4th 2010, 5:17 am

I tried using the one Etana posted, but still presented problems. Then I came across a solution.

Code:: .spoiler.hidden .quote.spoiler_content, .spoiler .quote {display:none;} .spoiler .quote.spoiler_content, .spoiler.hidden .quote {display:block;}

Pop that into the stylesheet if the one above causes problems, it fixed mine.

Hope this helps someone.

Thank-you Etana and Cirrus! It works for me on Firefox, but not IE, so hopefully the techs can figure out what's going on.

Jackalraymaiden, try the CSS editions that Etana and Cirrus have posted, if it still doesn't work be patient please.

The technician's will have a fix As Soon As Possible!

Where in the stylesheet do I post it? Just anywhere?

by Mael de Lioncourt April 5th 2010, 7:44 pm

Yeah it works if you pop it in anywhere.
Did for me anyways.

by preston713 April 5th 2010, 9:23 pm

i put it several different places and nothing worked for me.

all my spoiler tags are still not opening

by preston713 April 5th 2010, 9:27 pm

Okay, i used Jackalraymaiden's code and it worked, but there are sill problems

What happens for me now is that the spoilers are not completely closed, they're partially open, still revealing the spoiler...and also, you have to scroll all the way to the right to read the whole thing.

Originally, the spoiler tags would've fully concealed everything withing the spoiler-tags and the text body was positioned vertically similar to any other post.

How do I fix these new developments?

by preston713 April 5th 2010, 9:32 pm

I recognize now, the new problem is that it's exactly like the code-tags

Code:: new problems!

and not like this

Spoiler:

hope this helps

by jackalraymaiden April 6th 2010, 8:28 am

what browser do you use??

it works on FF and IE, gudluck though

by Burukku April 6th 2010, 1:50 pm

Have used Etana code and that fixed my problem but now am having issues again. Did tech staff change something? Spoilers are now wide open and it becoming bit annoying now.

just to let you know i can only get it to work in IE not in FF or crome Neutral

by preston713 April 6th 2010, 3:33 pm

The problem appears to be fixed!

I got rid of all the codes I tried and just went back to normal, and now the spoiler tags work exactly how they used to.

I'm not sure if someone changed something on the general server or not, but regardless, everything is good now.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to helping me Wink
