Just a thought I had while reading over the spoiler tag discussion... I believe I've mentioned this before (at least I think lol) but I don't remember your reply. Without Linkify, people put up some style of text such as..
***SPOILERS***
, and then add a few spaces below it so that the large red message catchers their eye and people don't continue reading the 'spoiled' information if they don't want to.
Is it possible for this to happen with Linkify in any way for the non-spoiled users? For example, when we type out * <3 (without the space), Linkify adjusts it to a normal <3, without an Asterisk, but remembers somehow that the asterisk was there and that it needs to be converted to <3 to be displayed for Linkify users (and if the post gets quoted)
I guess it's not as simple as an asterisk, but could something similar be done where "[spoiler][/spoiler]" gets changed into "[red]SPOILER[/red]", and Linkify recognizes the new text? Then it would display as the best spoiler warning for non-Linkify users, and would convert into the button for Linkify users?
I believe I've mentioned this and you probably told me it's not possible or that simple, but I just can't seem to remember lol

Ooh, so I just found out this is where you can request titles. You do so much Indy!
I usually get in a bit of a dilemma about what title to use in-game since it shows on the forums. Would it be possible for you to make both titles show, one below and one above?
Thanks again! c: coffee
Sorry it's one title either above or below, For many reasons I don't plan on changing that, but it would certainly break my suffix/prefix routine that makes titles make grammatical sense.

Would you make a title coloured blue?
Not sure if I like the idea of coloured titles, I need to give this a little more time before I can say yes or no. Storing a hex or rgb value along with the title isn't really a problem.
My main concern is keeping things tasteful.
Blue is my fav colour btw and you are a significant contributor to RS Linkify on all levels (code, ideas, feedback, testing, help, support, and more) so I can't just say no. Perhaps after the weekend (when I do an update) you would consider beta testing the coloured title idea
Dw about the coloured title, I don't like the idea of coloured titles either
I would request a custom title but I can't think of anything I would pick over my current one, so naturally the only other thing I could ask for is to make it blue
Love seeing what titles other people request though recently haha
Thanks Blasty, I'm kind of glad we're on the same page with the colours
@Keighlea,
I remember your suggestion. That was before RS Linkify had any form of spoiler, back on my first thread in HL General.
My reason for not going that way because I don't like plain text telling me it's a spoiler. That doesn't mean I'm not open to revisiting the idea.
The trouble for me is I read mostly by recognition...
***SPOILER***
<-- By the time I have read that red text...
The answer is 6
<-- I have already read this. I can't help it.
Okay I realise not everyone is the same in how they read, so that brings me to my next issue.
- The censor, I'm having trouble with the current tags, and that is why I haven't added any more tags for a long time. I can think of a number of new tags I'd like add to RS Linkify but the censor is what is putting me off.
- The issue you're experiencing with tags not being rendered on submit. That is also something I'd like to know more about before I go adding any more tags.
So that's why I haven't gone ahead with it. It's totally open for discussion and I'm not saying outright no. But the issues I mentioned, reading peripherally, tags and censor, need to be overcome somehow.

Why not have "the Blue" anyway? That way, everyone can see it that uses Linkify? (including me, where regular titles have broken somewhat permanently now)
