I finally managed to make my text invisible .. (I had to use it somewhere) :biggrin:


Invisible text ...


Select above

I thought this was the invisible colour?[/color]
 
Nice Hack
 
I think cristo is correct. If you look carefully you can still see the supposedly invisible text of the OP.
 
Nice one Greg! That should go well in the brain teaser forum. What about latex in the spoiler tags if that is needed? Is that asking a bit too much?

Very nice indeed, Greg!

It doesn't work with images. I've added an editor button for it.

Cool, you have been busy!

What does the "youtube" tag do? Does it embed a youtube video in the page?

That is really cool, and way easier than opening the youtube link in another window! Great feature!

One other thing I was wondering, what with all this new stuff, is whether it might be an idea to put a link to the FAQ (https://www.physicsforums.com/faq.php ) somewhere visible, so new members (and current ones) can easily find their way around things.. we could perhaps label it as "help" or something like that?

(Course I may be missing it.. there could already be a link somewhere!)

I had no idea that we had an FAQ :rolleyes:! It's a nice idea though.
