Folks:

Just wanted to let you all know of a new feature for your posting--Spoilers!

When posting a question where you wish to hide the OA, try wrapping a
Code:
[spoiler]Spoiler Code[/spoiler]

around your answer. Here's an example (hover over the black area):

OA: The answer is B

You will see the new spoiler button to the top right of your posting menu:



I haven't 100% tested this new feature yet, so let me know if you encounter any problems with posting. Thanks!

Can I say something?
but did not wait for the reply!]Hey jokes apart, I think people rarely comes in this Announcement section. And even if they notice this post-introduction of spoiler-, It will not come in their mind while doing a post regarding their queries! In QS and VS section, I think it will be better if you post this announcement. [Hey Aim-WSC, now please disclose the secret! - Made request to you for several times! Evil or Very Mad ](This is not related to this post obviously).

Hi,

I tried typing the following code in my post:
OA: [spoiler]C[/spoiler]

But, when I go to the preview, the answer does not hide. I submitted the post, but I could still see the answer. How to resolve this ?

Thanks

When you post, do you see a checkbox that says 'Disable BBCode' that is marked? If so, please uncheck that box. Also if you go to your profile, you can make sure that this box is always unchecked as a default preference.

Hope that helps!
