Hello All
I'm new to the forum (and the game). Many posts contain a spoiler alert then are followed by a blue bar. It appears that there are probably words, etc. under or hidden by the blue bar. If I wanted to read those, how do I do it?
Thanks
Whizzn

The spoiler alert is created by UBB code, you can mark a section of your post as "spoilerous" by clicking the spoiler button right underneath the field where you type in the text. Type the spoiler in the upcoming window.
Spoilers can be read by marking them like in WinWord (or similar), thus preventes to be seen if you don't actually want to. Just move your mouse over a spoiler, click and pull the curser along the lines. You'll get the hang quickly :)
Great game, isn't it? I've finished it three times by now and am on the fourth one, but considering the time I've joined, I'm just another newbie

Don't feel like one, though.

Now your demonstration isn't all that impressive, because:
1) smileys aren't hidden by a spoiler tag
2)
<BLOCKQUOTE><FONT size="1" face="Verdana, Arial, sans-serif">Spoiler:</font><DIV STYLE="background-color:#000080"><FONT color="#000080">The quick brown fox doesn't need a comma in order to do the jump :-)</FONT></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE>

A better example would be:
<BLOCKQUOTE><FONT size="1" face="Verdana, Arial, sans-serif">Spoiler:</font><DIV STYLE="background-color:#000080"><FONT color="#000080">Skippy moves at the speed of light.</FONT></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE>
