    I was just curious, is there any possibility in adding actual spoiler tags?

    Using white text is a bit annoying, because a lot of people can see that anyways. :/

    If there's enough demand for it then I can't see why not. I've certainly seen it put to good use on numerous forums.

    It would also be helpful if somebody could post a link to this hack that's compatible for vbulletin 3.7. :slight_smile:

    Ask and you shall receive, Martin.

    Here.

    Edit: This one might be better, as it has more installs and downloads.

    Here.

    Thankies. :grin:
    Whenever somebody posts content that could potentially spoil something for another member, they can type it into a spoiler which hides it. :slight_smile:

    Here's a screenshot of how it works on another site:
    [​IMG]
    ^ This is how it is displayed on a normal forum page before you click the button to reveal the spoilers contents.
    [​IMG]
    ^ This is what it looks like if you click the 'Show' button to show the contents inside the spoiler box. :slight_smile:

    It just gives members the option to choose whether they want to read any info that other members deem spoiler-worthy. :slight_smile:

    It's Sephiroth.

    And yes, spoiler tags would be really useful.

    White text can be easily read, by me at least... And usually since I read so quickly I don't notice its a spoiler until after I read it. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: Spoiler tags would be extremely useful to me haha.

    as a temporary measure, instead of using white text, you can also use the hex value of the background colour, which is f5f5ff. So instead of the tag , use

    for example, spoilers no spoilers

    Personally I'd like to see this implemented, it'd also be useful in threads with a lot of large pictures (such as the funny pics thread in fun and games) where it'd make navigation of the thread 100x simpler

    Meh. Although I can definitely see where it would be useful for other users. Not well-versed in vBulletin though; I use other software.
