Spoiler Box Issue
« on: March 22, 2009, 04:29:02 PM »
Hey there- quick question.

I've recently formatted my computer and now am unable to see/use spoiler boxes on these boards. Just wondering if I need to download a new version of java or something to get that working again.
Everything else seems to work just fine, just not the spoiler boxes- or at lest that's the only thing I noticed.

Any suggests?

Test for myself:

So.... did it fix itself?  The site's spoiler boxes got changed a while back.  Here's the relevant thread for that.

Er- No sorry, that box was just a test.

It has not fixed itself. I'd still like any advise if you have some to offer.

I'd say make sure you have the most versions of anything you may not, as that tends to be best anyways.

The only time I've heard of spoilers not being able to be seen though is when people aren't logged in.

I'm logged in, and they aren't working for me. I just updated my browser version I think (It is automated), so maybe that is at the root of it...

Yeah, the boxes aren't working for me either, starting today.

Tier 2: Someone with teleportation, mind control, time manipulation, intangibility, the ability to turn into an exact duplicate of anything, or the ability to see into the future with perfect accuracy.

It's the updated Firefox. Well, at least PhaedrusXY said he updated and so did I, now everything's fucked up.

It's not just Firefox.  I just tried it out on IE and Safari and they aren't working on them either.

I take it you don't often read the sections at the top of the boards?

Well if that's all that happened, you should be able to reinstall a spoiler mod with relative ease... Then we can ALL notice the good changes. ;)
