--- SPOILERS --- Creating Spoilers The most efficient way to insert a spoiler is to use the button with eye icon from the tool-bar at the top of the editor. Clicking this icon will insert a spoiler box into your post at the current position of your text cursor. Spoilers within spoilers also are possible by using that button, simply click the button while having the text cursor inside the spoiler. For example, double click it to create a spoiler with a spoiler inside. You can also create a spoiler using BBCode: [spoiler]This will be in the spoiler. That too. Yeah....[/spoiler] This will work in a small scale, but weird things happen when the post gets big. Generally I do not recommend using BBCode tags when wanting to make spoilers. Tips and Bugs If you'll hover your cursor over a spoiler, you'll notice arrows in the upper left corner of the spoiler. You can click&drag that to move spoilers around. It is possible to move these in/out -to/of other spoiler, but be careful, as they sometimes get eaten along with their contents when moving spoilers within spoilers. If that will happen, you can try to undo the operation, by pressing CTRL+Z. When moving spoilers around (it tends to happen randomly as well), it is possible to move these to the very bottom or the very top, so that you can't type above or below them, due to lack of space. The only solution is to drag the spoiler up/down a little, so that you'll have at least one free line. This sounds obvious, but it can be extremely frustrating for users, who aren't aware of that. A safe way to remove the spoilers along with their contents is not highlighting them, but clicking their top and hitting delete key. Backspace will also work. Selecting special boxes (such as spoilers) may be a hassle. Let's say, that you'd have some text with a spoiler in the middle. Now you want to select it all in order to copy&paste it somewhere else. If you'll start highlighting from the top, everything will work nicely. However, if you'll be highlighting from the bottom, your selection will get stuck once you'll hover over the spoiler: A solution is to go around these boxes when highlighting. Just move your cursor to the left, then drag the selection up.

Due to recent changes, you're now able to upload your own background, that will be displayed in your profile page. It looks like this (look at the sky background): Now here are some tips and general information about that feature to help you customize your profile efficiently. Profile BackgroundA pretty background image of your profile page. It either can be a full image, such as photo or a tile (pattern). >>> Full Image A single image, that is drawn in the upper-left corner with the background color beyond the image's borders. The image preferably should have the size of 1920x1080 as it's the highest common resolution. If the image will have smaller dimensions, than the resolution, it will not cover the whole page, thus may look bad like in the image above. Tips Using images with transparent background, such as vectors can work well with the background color, which may prevent from getting a bad result. It's best to put most of the details on the left side, because users with lower resolutions may not see the right side of the image, due to being out of view. Trivia TV's can have even higher resolution, than monitors usually have, so there is still that possibility, that some members will see the image not covering the whole page. However, using higher resolution than 1920x1080 is rather rare and most of the games and some software weren't designed to handle such resolutions anyway, so it's better to focus on monitor-users. When using images covering the whole screen, the background color may be still visible for a short time before the image will load. When the image will be 1920x1080, then sometimes you will not even see the very bottom part of the image, because some vertical space may be taken by Windows task bar and the browser's interface. Enabling fullscreen mode in the browser will reveal the whole image. >>> Tiles An image (pattern), that covers the whole page. The image is not stretched, but multiplied. The image should be nicely stacking (think of textures or bricks, for a more specific example), otherwise, it will look just bad. The image can be any size. A tiny one will work as well as bigger ones as long as their borders will be matching. Tips none at the moment. Trivia Tiles will look good in any resolution, for any user, as the image will be just multiplied. The background color is pretty much irrelevant when using tiles, unless they have transparency, though tiles usually don't have any transparent parts. Hope that helps! Remember, that the Forum Rules apply to background images as well. Abusing this feature will be awarded just like anywhere else once spotted or reported by other members. Don't make us sad.

Maybe one of you smart type peoples can help break down or discuss the benefits of all of these scripts I keep seeing talked about. What is Victor's? What is Yanfly's? What is Pearl? What is Tankentai (sounds dirty)? I see these things get mentioned all the time and I know they are some sort of scripts that customize the engine in some way, but maybe like me there are others out there who could really use a crash course on what all of these things do and why do they seem to be the standard for the things they do?
