Formatting comments
Comments on BetaSeries are written as plain text. There are still a few ways to enrich them.
Hiding a spoiler
To hide a passage that gives away the plot, wrap it between [spoiler] and [/spoiler]:
- Write your comment as usual.
- Right before the passage to hide, type
[spoiler](with the brackets). - Write the text to hide.
- Right after, type
[/spoiler]— don't forget the slash / in the closing tag.
For example, [spoiler]Jon Snow survives in the end[/spoiler] will show up as a « Reveal the spoiler » button: the text only appears if the reader clicks it.
Hiding works in the comments window of a page (show, season, episode or movie), which you open with See all N comments or Write a comment. In the list of latest comments shown on the page itself, a comment containing a spoiler is hidden entirely: readers have to click "See the comment?" to read it.
Adding a link
Simply paste the address (starting with https://) into your comment: it will become a clickable link. You can also display some text instead of the address with [url=https://www.betaseries.com]Link to BetaSeries[/url].
Mentioning a member
Type @ followed by a member's username (for example @betaseries): a link to their profile is added and they receive a notification.
Adding a GIF
BetaSeries Club members can add a GIF to their comments with the GIF button in the comment field, which lets them search millions of GIFs on GIPHY.
Emojis
There is no longer a BetaSeries-specific list of smileys: simply use the emojis from your keyboard (on a computer, Windows + . on Windows or Ctrl + Cmd + Space on macOS).
