Spoiler feature on the forums?

[DM|Mag]

Hi there, I have a simple question. I just went through the BBCode list of features for the site here and it's the standard fare vBulletin stuff I am used to. However, I was curious if not listed there was a spoiler code somewhere, or something similar? A way to shrink and hide away large amounts of data from showing unless one clicks on it to open up and reveal that information? I tend to pack a lot of front loaded information into my recruitment threads that I've accumulated over the years of things to just get out of the way with new players that my older players have worked with me on. Being able to section off and hide away information like my house rules, race information, etc, in small instances is something I've gotten used to elsewhere for organization purposes. I was under the impression it was standard with vBulletin but I might have been wrong. Is that a feature here just not listed, or was that coded in manually on other sites using the vBulletin forum software?

Thanks!

Hrm.


Sources: Paizo official material, see classes however. With 3.5 add-ons: The Completes; Races of: Stone, Dragon, Draconomicon; MIC, Libris Mortis, Heroes of Battle and Horror, Dragon Magic.

Classes: We aren't using classes, I put together a Classless Hack (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/16nMNV2lOJViHMw5yRx62Ifdw5Ta_C7947V8r40P0MWs/edit?usp=sharing) spreadsheet that is a WIP playtest currently. What I did was unzip the core classes and some extras I want to run with and spread them out alphabetically with a
cost to them in XP. You no longer gain levels at a set XP total. You gain XP and spend it after an 8 hour downtime rest. You can pull from the various sources for feats and items and spells, but stick to what is listed there on this
spreadsheet, please. To simplify our 1 shot FG-Daze experience. Avoid the off-menu stuff, spend 40,000 XP without trying to break my game building a character you think would be fun and survive the experience.
Banned: Guns, Gunslinger: Not invented yet, terribly designed system, extremely loud, etc, etc
"Level": 6, 40000 XP to spend on abilities. Cap 6 HD, which is your cap for everything else like skill ranks, Caster Level, etc.
Race: Dwarf, including Earth Dwarves w/PF Dwarf traits, subbing appropriate relevant things listed on this page. (https://www.d20srd.org/srd/variant/races/elementalRacialVariants.htm#earthDwarves), and Races of Stones Dream Dwarf, or Duergar (https://www.d20pfsrd.com/races/other-races/uncommon-races/arg-duergar)
Hit Points: Max each level
Point Buy: 30
Favored Class: As we are going classless, no favored class.
Skills: We are using the "Background Skills", and I am allowing all players to use the "Skill Unlocks" without the Signature Skill feat on the scale of 1 instance of Rogue's Edge at 5th, 10th, 15th, 20th effective level.
Traits: 2 Traits, any which fits your character besides Campaign traits. Meaning you can take more than 1 Magic or Combat trait, as you wish.
Drawbacks: Sure, but tie it into your personality please. 1 trait for your Drawback
Wealth: 10,000 gp You'll be using the Automatic Bonus Progression, so instead of half, I am giving you slightly more than half here.
Background: I don't need your life story. I just need something to give me a feel for your character. Often times, I can do this via your character sheet, but if I don't build it, sometimes that vibe just isn't there if you know what I
mean. So however it manifests, give me something. Whether its a 2 line wicked as can be quote to fit your character, or a 1 page back story. I don't care. Something with feeling.

Different, how do I code in limits for the box size then, if you happen to know of a way? So that is doesn't keep expanding as I fill it with data. This is a small snippet, if I wanted to shrink it to say only showing 2 lines, with the option to expand/scroll for instance?

The spoiler tag is not a built-in capability in vBulletin. There appears to be many individual customizations floating around, depending how people wanted to implement.

Also, I didn't see any way to limit the size of a code box using the default vBulletin tags.

Thanks for the replies folks, much appreciated. I'll need to find a way around this then with the amounts of data I need to convey.

You could try just using attachments with text files, so people can open if they want to get the details.

Yeah, I may need to go to that, or linking to google drive docs. My initial posting, I couldn't due to low post count, but a simple copy/paste to g. drive, share, link process would be a way around this. Just an adjustment to get used to and finding out what is possible and not. Knowing whats available will help in the future.
