Is there anyway to have the text editor not do the whole "practical" thing where it keeps the text format of where you copied the text from? Also, when using HTML, OB gives priority to BB, so when I want to add a picture as a background, it won't work as the URL to the picture will be pasted as a link.

I like editors that do what I want them to do, not what they seem fitting. It's cool when Ctrl+B would make [b] tags appear, but I don't need the text in the editor to be bold.

This lad has a track record of just not seeing things like this, so. :<

Go to your User CP and uncheck "Enable Visual (RTE) Editor?" under the General Settings tab and you should go back to a plain text editor. I just tested it though and it does seem a tiny bit buggy.

Oh wicked, I missed that one as usual! Thanks, Peetz.

Option is shown together with Spoiler. The content is hidden in the box. Best thing is to not enter an "option" or to use an "option" like "about yo momma" which will end up like the below. :V

This looks like a bug in the way IPB handles options in bb tags. If the tag allows for an option value but none is given, instead of using nothing, it uses the content value for the option as well. Usually this doesn't show up since option values tend to be used within the replacement HTML tags where the bad data is simply not parsed by the browser, but in this case it completely breaks the spoilerblock tag.

So, two workarounds here, since I doubt this is fixable without digging through the board's PHP code: First, people could just have to specify an option value when using the spoilerblock tag. Second, I could change the tag to not use an option, but that would break all the current uses of the tag that already have an option specified.

Actually, that just makes things clearer. The BB Code help page lists the general usage of the spoilerblock tag, but doesn't say anything about the option, so I didn't even know one was possible until you two pointed it out.

In that case, I don't think it's a serious bug at all. Perhaps a minor update to the help page, clarifying the 'option' option, would work?

Oh, guess I forgot to add the option in the example usage. That's fixed now.
