More BB-codes

It would be nice if there would be more BB codes, like for spoilers:

Example:

Spoiler:

HTML code:
Spoiler: {TEXT}

Mouse-over:

Spoiler:

I (could) see your point.

However, this is a game forum, for discussion about a game. Technically, anything/everything is a Spoiler, to someone. Every reply would have to have the Spoiler BB Code. Then we'd have to mouse over every reply to read it.

Heck, the Wiki is one HUGE Spoiler.

Just my two cents...

You could always just color the text white or yellow; it's pretty hard to read on this background coloring. Not impossible, but it'd make it obvious what it was. Spoilers below:
Captain Nemo kills Free Willy at the end
or
Donald Duck, in the storm seller, with the printer cartridge

Speaking of BBCode, I'm having trouble with my color codes. When I select text and then choose a color, I get:

Code: Select all

[color=#444444][color=green]Sample text Sample tex[/color]t Sample text[/color]

Which makes it look like:
Sample text Sample text Sample text

Well upgrading to PHPBB 3.0 would help

That would be a whole lot of effort for very little return. I'm of the opinion that, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

My colors are broke

I'm of the same opinion. I see nothing wrong with the site as is.

Simple but effective.

I agree. People rarely use spoiler warnings anyway.

SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry, I had to say that

The forums are good enough for me at least, and I love the design. It's easy to read long topics, and it's really Elder Scrolls.
