So after playing around with things today I've figured out a way that book spoilers can be allowed in the episode discussion threads - however, you must use spoiler code AROUND the spoilerific part of your post.
What constitutes a spoiler? Anything that hasn't happened in the series yet but happened in the books. If you reply to a spoiler and your reply contains spoilerish content, you need to make sure that you code around your spoilers as well. I'll make a guide for this to post in the forums on the weekend, but until then here's how to do this!
For this to work, the background colors of our forums will always be black. You need to use the codes that I'm giving you here to surround the text:
[spoilers highlight to read]Richard is the Seeker and thinks Kahlan is really Hot.[/spoilers]
Code dissection:
Before you post a spoiler - you need to type in coding (or use the WYSIWYG color change options to grab the code) alerting that it's a book spoiler, If you want to bold it you can, but making it Kermit the Frog green or red contrasts things enough to alert people that there's a spoiler coming up.
[spoilers highlight to read]Blackened Spoiler text goes here[/spoilers]
The main text on our boards is set to be yellow - if you make the text BLACK, people can't see the text against the pure black background. To read the text when the post is created, simply drag your mouse and highlight the blackened area and you'll be able to read it.
Richard is the Seeker and thinks Kahlan is really Hot.
