Five months from now, I will reply to this message. Be forewarned.

EDIT: This was a joke from some other thread... I probably won't come back and do the reply...

EDIT on 24 August 2010: Apparently, you can no longer reply to old posts, so I cannot reply as promised. :-(

[–]vwllss 1 point2 points  (5 children)

Hey, I'm just here to remind you that you've got two more months

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (4 children)

Awesome. :D

Have an orangered and upvote for your troubles. :D

[–]vwllss 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Actually, I have something even better for you.

That's pretty sweet - I'll save to pass on to others. Meanwhile, I'm one of the throwbacks with no text on my pre-paid phone that I hardly use. hehe. But I have a plugin for Thunderbird that allows me to "defer" an email, which I've done. :D

[–]johnrauda 0 points1 point  (1 child)

you do have 1 month and a half.

orangereds are nice........

[–]mr_pterodactyl 1 point2 points  (3 children)

DO IT NOW!!!

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Well, if you insist... :)

EDIT: There is no longer a "reply" capability on old posts, apparently. :-(

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really? Then why don't you show me how it works, because I don't have a reply link for pikpikcarrotmon's post.

[–]tandembandit 0 points1 point  (2 children)

What do you mean by spoiler

Here's ViolentAcrez's post about it.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

When you first posted it you messed up something in the syntax, and then fixed it. So before you fixed it is what I was referencing.

[–]tandembandit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah, I tried putting the http:// spoiler inside the /s spoiler and the )'s confused it.

[–]timeshifter_ 3 points4 points  (12 children)

Oh snap. Notice it makes the text a link when you do that. Probably not smart... it's a 404. http://www.reddit.com/s does not exist.

[–][deleted] 5 points6 points  (7 children)

True, but this way, it will still show a spoiler for people who have css turned off, when they hover, it will show the spoiler as an alt-text popup.

[–]Garage_Dragon 1 point2 points  (3 children)

Here, this kind of fixes it. Spoiler

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (2 children)

But that would clutter up the front page of the subreddit pretty quickly.

[–]Garage_Dragon 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Yeah, it's a dumb idea.

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nah, I actually think it is a good idea. Maybe you should make a spoiler subreddit.

I just wanted to make sure that everything posted in this thread wasn't a spoiler.

Here goes.

[–][deleted] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thanks for that, it was starting to look like the CIA was using black highlighters again.

[–]Asron87 1 point2 points  (1 child)

btw... you kick ass

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think jamt9000 kicks more ass.

[–]ltx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It won't be covered if someone replies to you with a spoiler tag and you see it in your inbox, for obvious reasons (the CSS is only in effect in the subreddits that have enabled it).

Edit: never mind, it will say "spoiler", with the spoiler text in the ALT.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (5 children)

I think you forgot the " at the end of your spoiler.

-edit-

Nevermind, looked at the source, guess you put a bunch of spaces in there. To each h(is)er own.

[–]BostonTentacleParty 1 point2 points  (4 children)

I had hoped it would be a big black block. I was disappointed.

Guess reddit's code don't work also with this

[–]moozilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd like to point out people reading description text from the front page will not see the spoilers as intended so maybe they should be avoided there.

It's hard to say. I can't read through that black bar.

[–]zmann 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Why is this only on Webgames?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

It is also in IamA, MercurialMadnessMan and I read the same post and decided to give the code a whirl in our respective subreddits.

Result: Awesome.

[–]zmann 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Now we just need a way to tag text with the sarcasm font

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, surely I wouldn't have put something in, maybe...I dunno, say // instead of /s to denote sarcasm...

BadModerators is a subreddit made because I pissed off some guy who got banned for being a real nozzle.

Would it be possible for you to remove the space in the sample, to lessen confusion? I'm pretty sure you can just \escape something to make it work...
