I'm not sure if this has come up before but I just did a good search and found nothing... so sorry if this is a repeat.

Anyway there's always a problem here in the movie sections etc with spoilers causing people problems as they're not hidden properly etc and people don't label threads so I was wondering... any chance of getting the spoiler VB code integrated into the forums? It's used a lot at several forums i'm a member of and it really does make it easier to hide stuff that people may not want to see, and at it least then gives the poster the option to hide things he may not want to openly reveal, and gives the reader the chance to choose whether they want to see the spoilers.

Shouldn't be too hard to implement should it... or are there reaons it's not already there? :)
 
aren't they just in invision?
should be easy enough to implement them here though - i mean, they're only css changy tags aren't they?
 
I just do it the old fasioned way :p

Spoiler, highlight to see:

Example Spoiler, text goes here.

PS: They all die!
 
But with my Uber special glasses on....

Shrieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek .. It's a ghost.

Damn american speeling !!

I knocked up some spoiler tags for another VBulletin forum I use, heres the instructions I gave them. :)

Load it up the VB Code editor thing to create a new one, set the tag to spoiler then add this as the replacement:
Code: 
<div>
Spoiler ({option}) - [<a href="#" onclick="node=this.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[0];if(node.style.backgroundColor=='rgb(0, 0, 0)'||node.style.backgroundColor=='rgb(0,0,0)'){node.style.backgroundColor='rgb(255, 255, 255)';}else{node.style.backgroundColor='rgb(0, 0, 0)';}return false;">Show / Hide</a>]
<div style="overflow:auto;border: 1px solid rgb(0, 0, 0);background:rgb(0, 0, 0);color:rgb(0, 0, 0);margin-top:2px;padding:3px;">{param}</div>
</div>

Fill in the other options however you wish (but make sure use {option} is set to yes! then save.

Now, create a new bbcode, set the tag again to spoiler, but make sure use {option} is set to no and set this as the replacement:

Code: 
<div>
Spoiler - [<a href="#" onclick="node=this.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[0];if(node.style.backgroundColor=='rgb(0, 0, 0)'||node.style.backgroundColor=='rgb(0,0,0)'){node.style.backgroundColor='rgb(255, 255, 255)';}else{node.style.backgroundColor='rgb(0, 0, 0)';}return false;">Show / Hide</a>]
<div style="overflow:auto;border: 1px solid rgb(0, 0, 0);background:rgb(0, 0, 0);color:rgb(0, 0, 0);margin-top:2px;padding:3px;">{param}</div>
</div>

This will hide things in the format
something spoilerish happens
or, more simply
sometext
.

It'll result in something like this (screenshot taken from the VBulletin demo environment I used to make it):

while we're at minor modifications to the forum, can we change the code for the tounge smiley:

:p

to either a capital or lowercase P?
