Spoiler tags finicky


#1

Hey folks,

The spoiler tags have been acting finicky since last evening. I thought it was a browser issue but its the same in Firefox, Chrome and Explorer. I have also tried clearing the history and cookies but to no effect. As soon as I wrap spoiler tags around a post, it shows me the “The message you have entered is too short. Please lengthen your message to at least 10 characters.” error even if its a good couple of paragraphs long.

In fact, adding spoiler tags to this very post results in the same problem.

It was working fine before. Just that it doesn’t seem consistent enough these past few hours. Could someone please check if its a genuine problem or something screwed up at my end?

Cheers,
Sachin

From my own experience of using the SPOILER or QUOTE tags:[spoiler]The text within the SPOILER and QUOTE tags are not counted. So you need to put more words outside of the tags to avoid getting that error.[/spoiler]

Haha, thanks Kirt! That was quite illustrative! My bad.

[spoiler]It works![/spoiler]
