Is it possible to code a dropdown menu?

Such as if you click or over over a certain word it will show a drop down menu of information?
Similar to how F-list works with drop downs?
I'm not sure how F-list works, so could you elaborate a bit? The site already uses drop down menus, so I assume you're talking about using them in your character profiles! How would you like them to be implemented?

Dropdown outside of the existing navigation menus isn't possible because you need to use <div> classes and IDs to define which dropdown behaves in which way. As widgets are limited to BBCode, you can't really tell the CSS "apply this coding on this piece of text". You can only manipulate existing dropdowns.

I think what will help you is the collapse tag!

Click this text to reveal more information

All the extra info goes in this place right here.

Code:
[collapse name="Click this text to reveal more information"] All the extra info goes in this place right here. [/collapse]

This is the most effective alternative that works on both desktop and mobile devices right now. :)

I also don't use F-list to know what you're referencing. From what you're describing, Sanne's suggestion of the collapse tag seems like a good alternative, but maybe you could PM me a link to a page with the feature you want considered? :)

What if I wanted to color the text of said link?

At the moment there is no way to do this without editing the CSS of your profile. Only Epic members are able to do this.

(Which would look like this)
Code:
.collapse_name { color: red; }
