Self-Terminating Spoiler

[Vadia]

I have a thread

In the thread, there is a self-terminating spoiler. That spoiler error was in the spoiler above before, and the one above that, and the one above that. I've been ripping out [align=][/align] codes to make it go away, but it just keeps trucking along.

The [/spoiler] is far lower on the page then the code acts like it is, and I really don't want to have to rip out every single align on the page, as they make it look better. I also don't want to have to rip out images, or urls as they provide citations for the images.

Any idea what is wrong? Is it hopeless?

I guarantee that you have a mis-matched tag in there somewhere. The forum software doesn't randomly terminate spoilers. It's ALWAYS a tagging error - either you've got an extra, or you've misnested it. Keep looking.

I assume that you want the unspoilered ammo to be spoilered, so there is that.

You will want to look at where you forgot one of your [/align].

I counted 12 [align], and 11 [/align], so you need to close it somewhere.

I looked at the small paragraph of code and found nothing but finished tags, so I was forced to rip out a string of [align] codes, so now the storefront looks worse.

It seems if you do

Text

It takes the image and spoilers only it, leaving out all of the text below and deleting the [/spoiler] at the bottom. On top of that, it deletes the [/align] code as well.

Code: Select all

[spoiler=7.62x39mm,AK-47 Ammo][align=center][url=http://www.ilikewallpaper.net/ipad-wallpapers/download/16089/Pile-Of-Bullets-ipad-wallpaper-ilikewallpaper_com.jpg]Pile of 7.62x39mm Ammo[/url][/align]

A box of 20 rounds of 7.92x38.70 is five Universal dollars.

[b]Casing:[/b] Steel
[b]Primer:[/b] Berdan
[b]Bullet:[/b] Copper Coated Lead
[b]Bullet diameter:[/b] 7.92 mm (0.312 in)
[b]Case length[/b]: 38.70 mm (1.524 in)[/spoiler]

This is the code that failed. Every [] is completed and when it loads, some of it gets moved or deleted.

I used the search feature and found 10 of each, with it counting the button for the align code at the top.

[[/url]/align]


I seem to found the problem. One of your aligns are merged with url, i.e. From the code above, you put the /url in an /align.

[[/url]/align] instead of [/url][/align] in the very last bit of the snipped code.

EDIT: You have no missing [/align], my mistake. Just that error above.

You also seem to have an error between 7.62x39mm (in the spoiler) and 7.92x38.70mm (in the tech. specs) for the last box of rounds.

EDIT: I'm fixing it on Telegram/Dispatch.

Really odd cause for the problem. Thank you so much, there is no way I would've easily found that.

No problem! Oh and that ammo thing I was editing in as well.

It took me a few minutes as well. I saw 12 sets of [ align] and [/align], but Ctrl+F was spitting out "11 [/align]", so there's that.
