[Suggestions ]add spoiler button and minimized bbcode editor of comment tab

[3aq]

First suggestion:

 

As I've been on this site, whether on my account or simply lurking logged off, I noticed the dire lack of spoilers. Whether this may be because denizens here are spoiled (bum-dum-tssh!*), or because simply it's too cumbersome typing out "[ spoiler] <your text here>[/ spoiler], I feel it's the latter. But whatever the case maybe, there are often times I will see huge lists or content (ie pictures, videos, media, etc). which would be better off contained within its own separate collapsible window, which the spoiler functions brilliantly as. Sadly though, it isn't included within the current bbcode bar, so we're off straining ourselves through long TL;DR ending credits like load orders and error logs because users don't know or again as mentioned earlier type out that cumbersome spoiler tag.

 

Second suggestion:

 

In that same mind of thought, I feel the comment tab section of nexus, site-side, would benefit in having a small bbcode bar. It doesn't need to be much, just need bold, italics, size, color, size, and spoiler.

 

Hope these suggestion gets implemented, cheers

Usually when I tell a person to do something like "Put your load order in spoiler tags" the response I get 100% of the time is "How do I do that?"

If you are typing the markup text for a spoiler, you are doing things the hard way. When in edit mode, on the upper left, near to your avatar, is a little box with green stripes (right of the eraser). Click on that and select Spoiler and type your text. Easy Peasy.

But it requires you to be in full mode, (almost) no one has time for that apparently.

Oh Horse Hockey. When you click in the Input box below 'Reply to this topic' you are placed into 'full' edit mode. And there is no way to turn that off in you profile settings.

I don't see it though. :-( if it is present, then it needs better labeling.

It looks like a photo frame, I never realised that is what it does personally.

 

We do have a Github suggestion for BBCode in comments. (https://github.com/Nexus-Mods/web-issues/issues/873)

 

It might be worth adding any addition comments there for when it gets reviewed :)

 

I do agree though, better awareness of spoilers and other formatting tools would be a plus.

Here, maybe this will help you see the icon.

yes, but to people who come to the forums, and just use the bold, italics, image, url, and probably center align button; going into those other fancy button function is just far too much to comprehend/care to do. At the end of the day, it needs to be a highlight text + 1 click button, not a 4 click while navigating through a scroll one.
