AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the color codes for invisible text used for spoilers, with participants noting that the current standard is black (#000000), although it was previously #ececec. Users mention that a sticky in the brainteasers forum provides the color code for reference. There is some confusion about changes in background colors affecting the visibility of invisible text, with the current background color being #E3E3E3. Participants emphasize the importance of using the correct color code to ensure text remains hidden. The conversation highlights the evolving nature of forum formatting and the need for users to stay updated on these changes.

Well, just think of it as Ed-Ed-Ed
 
There's a sticky in the brainteasers forum with the color code if you ever forget, which is likely (I always have to re-look it up). That's where hidden text gets used most often.
 
Thanks guys and gals.

Not that anyone can tell, but technically it's ececec, not black.
 
The source clearly says :

<TD bgcolor="#EDEDED">
 
It does! It used to be #ececec. It must have been changed recently.

Nope. #black was determined very shortly after the color schemes changed...there was a thread ongoing at the time that had spoilers and is the reason we quickly looked up the replacement for using white text. Others are really close and worked okay, but #black is the one someone found from the source code.

Ed and Ec both look good.

Doesn't invisble code work anymore here because I can see the text people typed here without hilighting?

I think I read somewhere that the background color had changed, therefore the "invisible" color changed as well. Currently it's #E3E3E3

Example: Invisible text[/color]
