Posting While Cloaked

Post by Dragonfire »

It is actually possible to post invisible on this forum, I discovered, which can certainly make things kinda fun. Just set the color on your post to #ECECEC, and no one can see the text unless they select it! Quite handy for secret messages, snide remarks, and hiding spoilers. Kinda fun, no?

You're right half the time ;)

Notice that every other post is either light grey or dark grey backgrounded. Your method works for the light grey, but not the dark...


For the dark (like this post) you need code #DEE3E7

Hint: see the above hint ;)

A guaranteed way to hide text is:
Make it #fafafa and put it inside a quote.

Hark! You failed to use your cloak! Taste my lasers!

Seriously, my friend is sitting next to me saying "roll for damage". I'm trying to get him hooked on the game. He's a Minecrafter.

Alas, you fired at my holographic projection nothing more - I'm safely ensconced aboard the Constore in the Diso system - as ever...
