> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Arnold Winkelried \* > > Q: Could you make the tag look fancier in some way (different fonts, colours, different size fonts, adding text that says “highlight below to read the spoiler”) ? > A: No. There is a limit to the size of a tag that can be created with vBulletin. If you want to do this, you can add it as a replacement, through the admin interface. (email me if you are interested and/or have questions.) ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Achernar \* > \*\*Is there a setting I can change in Opera to make these work? \*\* The highlighting doesn work well–as has been noted–but there is an option to “toggle between author and user mode”; it’s that tiny page icon next to the address bar (between the printer and camera icons). Once you click on it, it removes all special formatting and pictures on the page. I use it often to view web pages laden with graphics and tiny, tiny text. And since I’m color-blind (thus making some background and text combinations near impossible to read), I use it to remove all colors, too. ---

I’m going to give Jon the _This is Spinal Tap_ video (which I got for only **SIX DOLLARS!!!** from HMV) for his birthday, unless the new Pearl Jam CD I pre-ordered from Columbia House comes this week… in that case, _This is Spinal Tap_ will be saved for Christmas. 😃 ---

This is my spoiler test. I hope you enjoyed it. Now I can post in the 24 and West Wing thread with no fear. ---

How much was that falcon statue worth in _The Maltese Falcon_, anyway? It wasn’t worth squat. It was just a plaster dummy painted black. Someone pulled a switcheroo on the Fatman. Majorly cool. ---
