You had to click a button to read this!

You can make anything a "Spoiler" by highlighting the text you want to hide and clicking the Insert toolbar button, between the Media (filmstrips) and Drafts (floppy disk) buttons.

Note that this is where you can add BB code for Quote, Code, and Strikethrough as well.]]> 1 "PM"s are "Conversations" on xenForo Sat, 29 Mar 2014 13:50:36 +0000 https://www.algaescrubbing.com/threads/pm-s-are-conversations-on-xenforo.326/ https://www.algaescrubbing.com/threads/pm-s-are-conversations-on-xenforo.326/ invalid@example.com (Turbo) Turbo

Simply click the "reply" link and you will be sent to the quick-reply box with the text quoted. Scroll back up to the next post you want to quote and click the "reply" link, and that text will also be quoted - and placed where the cursor is located.
