Was the horse on the right sick? Or was the horse on the left trying to show affection? Without attributing genders or ages, I kind of see this as a romantic gesture.
Sorry Alexi… If you like doing it that way, because you like working directly with code, great.
If anybody out here can follow all that, or it actually helps them understand it, great as well.
But as I’ve posted, there’s no reason you HAVE to understand it, or insert the code, yourself… that’s unnecessarily complicated…
…
Writing the text, or pasting the image link, whatever you’ll want to hide, FIRST, then highlighting it, and THEN clicking the [+] writes and inserts the code for you, surrounding the highlighted text.
All you have to do after that is type your label or tag into the little box that pops up, and click “post comment”.
…
Your highlighted stuff will be hidden, except for the label you typed into the little box for a tag.
not sure if you posted these instructions because I said I could not get it to work or for someone else, but thanks anyway, and I hope I remember this the next time I try it! thanks again
My reposting of my now missing original comment is on page two of today.
Again, I do hope it helps.

I’ve spent my life working on electrical equipment in the power industry, and there is a very important rule that you should follow dealing with anything electrical. It’s one of our Safety Rules, and it says that when working on LV (Low Voltage) ALWAYS treat as LIVE, even when proved dead but not totally disconnected from the system (i.e. Switch open/fuses removed). You always treat it as if it could become Live at any moment, someone could put the fuses back in/close the switch, or there could be a fault on an adjacent circuit that makes the one you’re working on Live. We do Lock/Label such things, but you always have to expect the unexpected.
At home, if it’s not unplugged, or it is but you don’t have control of the cable/plug, treat it as live.
That being said, I do tend to replace switches and sockets when they’re live, because I do know what I’m doing! 😉
Oh yes, the same rules apply, but there are safe methods for doing such things, even on metal switches/sockets.
Some simple things: If it’s a fuse you’ve removed, keep the fuse with you, and put a piece of tape over the fuse holder. If it’s a breaker, put tape over the lever. In both cases, attach a label covering the fuse holder/breaker (Can be handwritten) saying the circuit is being worked on. If you’re in a shared space, put the date and time, and your name or initials, on it.
Use a testing device, but importantly, Test it on a known live circuit both prior to and after testing the circuit that you want to prove dead. Test Tester/Test Circuit/Test Tester.
Don’t forget; just because a switch looks off, it might not be. Here in the UK, our switches are up for off, in the US it’s the opposite. Plus on lighting circuits there can be two, or three, way switching for lights (Multiple switches controlling the same lamp).
Don’t be macho, if you decide part way through you need to make it dead, make it dead.
If in doubt, don’t touch it and call in someone competent.
At work we have quite stringent rules for working on the Network, there are Rules and Procedures we have to follow. We have PPE as our last line of defence, which includes flame retardant overalls, insulated gloves and boots, and a face shield/hood. We lock and label all points of Isolation, and we apply Earths (if working dead) to prevent an accidental energisation from having a catastrophic effect. If we are working on the HV systems, then we have a system of Permit-To-Work documentation that is issued. Our biggest issue these days is home generation, but the Earthing application usually sorts that problem.
My Dad was an Electrician, and I was in Electronics, including doing a lot of Mains (120/240VAC) work. I could most likely do live work safely, but I still make sure the power is off.
Very wise. Our mains over here is 240/415Vac (Three phase), you really don’t want a 415 shock, or cause a flashover. We do still use split phase over here, but it’s mainly isolated farms supplied by two wire HV, so they’d get supplied with 240/480V.

OK, a very weird thing is happening…
I made 5 images and posted “Instructions in pictures”…
The first three were hidden by one spoiler tag that says “Steps.”
The last two in another spoiler tag that says “Results”.
…
I posted it once… didn’t see it, so I thought I goofed.
Posted it again… it appeared and immediately disappeared!
Huh?
So I tried a third time, and noticed orange text above it that said “Awaiting for approval” (sic)…. right before it disappeared too.
Whose approval?
…
I’m going to break it into two comments and try again…
If any or all of the duplicates ever show up, I’ll come back and delete them.
Good thing I used tags instead of just posting five images!
I was going to post “Warrant” but there wasn’t a version I’d be comfortable presenting to the ladies.
So while I’ve never heard this doo-wop group before today, here are Marvin & Johnny from 1954 with “Cherry Pie.”
Edited at 15:44 E.S.T.
Who knew George Carlin could do this (the same song) ?
.
Is this a workplace?
How waffle.
I thought it was a library or bookstore….but, whatever. All I know is that now, I have a hankering for waffles.
Could be either of those, or even department store shelves, though patrons of any of those these days usually aren’t allowed to climb ladders.
But it instantly reminded me of working in “catalogue” at JC Penney, where the back room looked just like that… little stepladders and all.
…
All day we’d retrieve packages from the shelves to bring out front to customers…
Shipping was free if you ordered items sent to the store instead of your house.
It still is, in some places.
….
A tough job and a tough boss… it really WAS too waffle to stay there.
Boo
Hi ho, hi ho, it’s off to work they go!
…
…
…
…
.
Wow!
That’s so cool!
I’ve never seen horses feed each other.
Was the horse on the right sick? Or was the horse on the left trying to show affection? Without attributing genders or ages, I kind of see this as a romantic gesture.
Me too… especially considering the eager rush to deliver the food.
An equine valentine?
…
Yeah yeah,I’m anthropomorphising …
But hey, I think like a human… most of the time. I think.
The way to a man’s heart is thru his stomach…..
How sweet!
It is for me! 😀
Looks like the horse receiving the food is tied up. So very wonderful gesture!
,
If you don’t know which circuit breaker to flip, do it to them all.
First rule of house electrical. Don’t.Just don’t.
At least Clara’s phone was working!

You don’t need to use the </> at all.
Thanks, Susan, for these easy-to-follow instructions. I’m sure that they’ll be much appreciated.
Let me check. *,
Hm, no little box popped up.
the little label box will appear at the top of the whole page.
Those weren’t the complete instructions… well, they were, but not in easy-to-follow form.
That was just an answer to Alexi cos he’s already familiar with using the spoiler function.
I was planning to post them more clearly after I answered him… then I got interrupted… but I’ll do that in a few minutes.
oh, good….because I have to go to bed now! I was going to do that, but I’m glad that you’re on the job!!
g’night!
No box pops up UNLESS you have some text highlighted when you click [+].
If you clicked elsewhere and the highlight was gone, you broke the magic spell.
Highlight again, click again.
I’ll be posting pictures in a few.
Thanks for posting the “Bella Note” scene. Lots more detail than I remembered.
Before there was you-tube, I would watch the whole movie just for this one scene!
(hopeless romantic)
I am totally with Clara. Pay the man.
OK… Easier Instructions for Spoiler Tag… three steps in words.
(Illustrated version to follow for those who want it.)
FIRST Type or paste your entire comment into the comment box,
including any part you’ll want to be hidden by a spoiler tag when you actually post it.
That can include your own text, an image link, a link to a website… anything you don’t want people to see till they click the tag.
…
NEXT: With your mouse, HIGHLIGHT whatever it is, that you want to be hidden.
If it’s a link, to a picture or site, it’s best to give it some space… hit enter above and below.
WHILE IT IS HIGHLIGHTED… click the [+] in the black bar below where you’re typing.
THAT’s when the little box will pop up with a blank space in it.
(NOTE: Do not click elsewhere first and make the highlight disappear… the tag will only work on highlighted text.)
….
That blank space is for typing the words you want people to click on….
whether it’s a title, a short description, or just “Click Here!”
We call that the “Tag”.
…
THEN, After you fill in a tag, click OK in the little window, then “Post Comment” in the normal way.
Magically, everything you highlighted will be hidden, and people will have to click on the tag to see it.
…
Please… there’s anything you don’t know, even how to highlight text, or if something doesn’t work…
Just say so!
There’s no crime in wanting more information.
Just remember, if no one else answers before I get here … I go to bed in the wee hours and don’t come back till late in the day.
I think I often answer people who never see it.
not sure if you posted these instructions because I said I could not get it to work or for someone else, but thanks anyway, and I hope I remember this the next time I try it! thanks again
…or you just click on the [+] and enter the title of your spoiler.
After hitting “enter” the cursor should be exactly in the right place.
Yes, that works… there are lots of ways to change one step or the other.
BUT in my teaching experience, it’s best to start with ONE method most people can follow, and be successful, before confusing them with alternatives.
I merely picked the one I thought was most foolproof.
Is very simple, and if followed, it will will work.
…
At first, in fact, I did it as you describe, but when I accidentally moved the cursor to edit a sentence, I had to know where to put it back.
Anyone who doesn’t understand the basics of html tags could be puzzled.
…..
I’m not saying I know more or my method is absolutely best for everybody…
I have no patent on it and no ego involved in which one people choose…
I merely posted mine first.
IMHO, if someone says it doesn’t work, or isn’t understandable, then one of us should post alternatives to try.
(shrug) I just think that’s simpler for starters – as you confirmed…
“Foolproof” Hah! I accept your challenge.

Thank you, MCTS.
BTW… don’t those same things apply to you… someone could plug it back in, close the breaker… a possible adjacent fault?
I’m sure I’m not alone in hoping you’re careful!
to quote James Bond in Goldfinger:
“Shocking. Absolutely shocking.”
Oh yes, the same rules apply, but there are safe methods for doing such things, even on metal switches/sockets.
Some simple things: If it’s a fuse you’ve removed, keep the fuse with you, and put a piece of tape over the fuse holder. If it’s a breaker, put tape over the lever.

Don’t be macho, if you decide part way through you need to make it dead, make it dead.
If in doubt, don’t touch it and call in someone competent.
That last sentence covers my entire participation.
LOL… in other words, I’ll just start by calling someone like you.
BTW… being macho just doesn’t work for me.

It can be done.
just some doodles–nobody in particular –which one would you like to
see developed?
Oh, why not all of them?
Go ahead…. They’re small.
I’ve done it before, too!
That’s why I was so surprised.
I’m not sure whether I’ve done five or only four…
or maybe it’s the total Mb…
But surely yours has more.
Just another WordPress mystery!
They like to keep my on my toes.
Instructions in picture form, for those who want them…
if anything isn’t clear please just let me know… it’s OK.
Closed tag:
Open tag after clicking:
Since the images here are just pictures of the tags, they won’t work if you click them!
Hopefully… yay!
(BTW I didn’t have a small image handy so I used my own avatar.)

it IS rather fitting isn’t it?

I prefer the muffins for breakfast.
Thank you for finding that. Iv’e watched it several times. Hilarious!
They are simple but sparklie given Claude’s propensity for oopsies!
Good Sunday morning Cleophanatics!
Y’all (((((hug))))) your pet. Turd gets a couple extras today.
