I almost forgot to return and post that there is now a way to do this. The good folks added a css class called "spoiler" which has ::before content of (hover to reveal). So scatter questions throughout your article and wrap the answers in a span with class="spoiler" and there we are! It's not what people in eLearning would call truly interactive content but it's a step

Hey Mike
This is a very, very late reply but we do allow Javascript in articles if we post the script ourselves (ie we check the code before it's live)

Thank you.
Have you also mailed the author or should we leave a message in the forum regarding the missing download?
[EDIT]
Just saw your reply in the B&S forum that you have mailed him.

In this tip we gonna build …
To me, that seems lazy, unprofessional, and potentially confusing to members whose first language isn't English.
It should of course be, "we are going to".
Is it just me who's bothered by lazy writing like this?

:hands up:
Can't stand it either. Mark it as needing attention or, if you have rep, correct it.

I don't think I have access to edit other people's articles. I've flagged it as "format / layout issues", which felt like the closest to "English language issues".

No. It is not just you.
I go directly for "poor quality" when I find something like this.
One thing is to have errors (I am not native english speaker and I know I do have errors continously) but another thing is to be lazy and don't even try to write correctly.

But that's a "delete this rubbish" vote, rather than a "needs help" vote.
I think this tip's OK; it just needs a gentle massage with a dictionary.

"needs help" (there is no fitting option for "needs gentle massage with dictionary") is just giving more work to CP-Editors.
Nuking the article might have a more durable persuasive feeling, so that the user really checks what he writes next time.
I am not an assh... I usually leave a comment if I think it might bring something to the author.

A few years ago my granddaughter was playing on a Disney website, which allowed you to build characters by dragging various components on the screen. Every so often a question popped up which was always prefixed "Do you wanna ...". I soon blocked that site.

Ah, that would be the "Do you wanna build a snowman?" section. Far better had it said, "Would you care to?"

When I visit my article, I get a banner saying there is an autosaved draft.
Looking at the versions page: [^] I see the published version is 8 and there is a version 9 with not-minor changes.
But if I select the buttons on 8 and 9 and go to Compare, it actually compares 8 and 8, which shows nothing.
How do I find out what changes are pending? Is there something quite non-obvious in how to use the compare page, or is this a bug?

If you hit the button to edit an article and make no changes, it creates a new draft. Looking at the two revisions you mention, there are no changes. To remove the message, I could just publish draft 9 (which is identical to 8) if you would like.

Please do that.
But I still wonder why it claimed to be comparing the same version against itself, rather than 8 with 9. It’s like the diffing code does not think 9 exists at all, while the selection screen does.

How do I set the “article thumbnail” to use one of the images in the article?
|
|
|
|
|
It's a little convoluted, but one way you could do it would be to upload the image, then click on the uploaded image in the files bar to get the URL, then copy paste that into the thumbnail URL window.

Would it be frowned upon for me to add a link to my website so I can generate high quality back links for SEO?
Like put this link in my signature so it shows on every post?
I really need some help here on getting some traffic to my site so I can get more than 1 click a week.
If it ain't broke don't fix it

You won't be the first.
An advice... do it elegantly and without big advertisement (i.e. Luc Pattyns signature two or thre threads below)
