    Hi! i noticed that the spoiler tag doesn't cover emoticons. See:

    :D:eek::p:rolleyes:;):confused::(:):mad::cool::eek:

    Will that get fixed in the future?

    Well, thats what I'm saying. what if I want to write a spoiler but the emoticon gives it away.

    I'm very happy :D

    See what I mean? Its not that big of a deal but its kinda annoying.

    That's quite funny.

    One day I was :) and :eek: and getting lots of ;), but then a ogre attacked me :eek: and made me :mad:


    What happens if I put a spoiler inside a spoiler, inside a spoiler?

    First Spoiler
    Second spoiler
    Third spoiler!

    It works fine! Interestingly:
    - when you hover on spoiler 1, you see spoiler 1.
    - when you hover on spoiler 2, you see the Spoiler 1+2.
    - when you hover on spoiler 3, you see all three spoilers.

    How about link in a spoiler?

    Link appears, but doesn't seem to be clickable.

    What did that give away exactly? I had absolutely no idea what you were going to say. It could have been game-related, maybe you won some money, got married, shot someone you hate in the face... but it was just regular happiness all along.

    Solution...

    • Use it like this..
      :p :-D :)
    • Disable all smilies from your post in the Advanced Post options
    • Disable only smilies inside the spoiler tags using "noparse" tag
      :p :D

    • Or the easiest option..
      - Dont use emoticons in a spoiler :p

    The way the spoiler tag works is by applying a different style to that span of text which has the same background color as the text until you hover over it. That's how all spoiler tags work. These text effects can't hide images, so it's not really something that can even be "fixed".
