In the Game of Thrones thread, someone posted a spoiler from a leaked version of the script. I purposely did not click on it, and scrolled down where someone else had quoted that spoiler, only this time, the spoiler was no longer behind a spoiler tag and was simply right out there, thus very likely spoiling the ending. Am I the only one who has a quoted spoiler unspoilered by the message board? ---

If I remember, that was one of the many “features” of the Sultan theme. ---

That particular spoiler has been deleted so I can’t view it on my system, but other quoted spoilers are working properly for me. As far as I am aware, it’s only Sultanstheme that has an issue with spoilers in quotes. What browser/OS are you using? ---

What makes SultanBugs especially Dilbertish is that almost all the bugs have been fixed by **BigT** (and you can install those fixes on your machine, I guess, using GreaseMonkey) but SDMB management has no one willing and able to install those easy fixes. Worry that that would invalidate the SultanBugs warrantee? :rolleyes: ---
