Invisible Ink
What is it?
For a bit of added fun, particularly when you’re trying not to be blatantly obvious.
Why not try using Invisible Ink? (Yes, you!). It’s not hard to do.
Try dragging your mouse pointer to highlight the gap in the second sentence of this paragraph to see what we mean.
How to do it:
1. Open a NEW DISCUSSION or REPLY window and type your full message.
2. Highlight the words you want to hide and select the text colour to exactly match the background of your message.
Be aware that if you are starting a NEW message thread, the automatic background is pale yellow (not white as for the REPLIES).
Also, if you are using a coloured background, you’ll need to exactly match your text colour to the background colour.
3. And, ta-daah, the words magically blend in with the background of the message and aren’t visible again until somebody highlights over them when reading them. (aah, you're getting wise to it already!!! Clever clogs)
A polite request
This is not a licence to throw swear words onto the messageboards.
Why?
Because, they are not always invisible to all people.
People who have opted to read this community as email, and who have their email set to text only, will be able to see each and every word in plain old black, regardless of what colour you made it using HTML originally.
Any messages found to contain obscenity, even if it is apparently hidden, will be deleted.
