Alright, so we've got some fancy new spoiler boxes added so if you want to discuss stuff in a TV/Show/Movie thread without ruining it for everyone you can. It will basically hide stuff unless you want to read/click on the box. Soo, click on spoiler boxes at your own peril.

The tag's proper formatting is {spoiler=title goes here}hidden text or whatever in between{/spoiler} (except swap out the { and } for [ and ] )

That's if you want to type it out yourself. If you do this, make sure you include something in the first tag after the equal sign, otherwise it won't work properly. Ideally you'll make this something describing what/why you think your hidden text is a spoiler.

To make things easy for all you computer noobs, however, I've also added a "spoil" autotagger for you in the advanced post creator. You'll just highlight/select the stuff you want to be hidden, and then hit the

button up top. It will ask you what you want to put for the description and then create the tag for you. Easy peasy.

Examples

You guys are so spoiled

You can even put spoilers inside of spoilers:

If you'd just read the first post:

You need to have the first tag look like
 
ok not much changed here, still similar code, but there is a little hidden dropdown (under more options, 3 dots) with dashed out eye to automate it
