Hey, just a quick question to some of you duders here. I've noticed recently when people are posting spoilers on here, it makes the text white with the background of the text also white, like this:

This is a spoiler.

I can't see SHIT when I highlight it. Does no one else have this problem? I much prefer if people used the Spoiler Block button, at least then I can read what you're saying.

EDIT: Just tested this on the white skin, it works much better, but yo. Once you go black, you never go back.

Are you possibly color blind? Can you see the highlighted text in another browser?

Seems fine to me.

The problem I have with the whiteout spoilers is that it doesn't work half the time when I try to use it.

Spoiler!

It took me a bunch of tries to get that to work right.

These white spoilers hurt my racist eyes. Take it black or take it back.

The white one is easy enough to use, the click spoilers always seem to break.

The problem with the whited-out text is that the spoiler block doesn't appear on the mobile site.

You can read this just fine if you're using the mobile site.

The spoiler text reads fine for me, but I have the same problem as @MooseyMcMan and it's one of the buttons that doesn't work very well for me.

The problem with the spoiler block, you mean? Sorry, I think I know what you're saying...

To all the people saying the button doesn't work: for some reason, it doesn't take if you highlight to the end of a line. At least in my experience.

Trying to get either one to work when I type is usually hit or miss for me, but I'm still pretty new I guess.
