Thumbs up Added two basic spoiler codes.

Today I implemented a simple but effective spoiler BB Code. (Actually two.) In case you are not aware what forum spoiler codes are, they are a method of hiding in plain sight, words or complete paragraphs of text. You may want to use this code when talking about movies or games and do not want to give away endings or spoil certain parts for others who may not have watched or played those titles.

Example:

Neil McCauley is Robert De Niro's character in the movie Heat. He dies at the end of the movie. (Without spoiler.)

Neil McCauley is Robert De Niro's character in the movie Heat. He dies at the end of the movie. (With spoiler type 1. Just hover your mouse cursor over to reveal the hidden text.)

Neil McCauley is Robert De Niro's character in the movie Heat. He dies at the end of the movie. (With spoiler type 2. Just highlight the black section to reveal the hidden text.)


To use these spoiler codes, simply put [sp] or [sp2] (depending which type you prefer) at the beginning of the block of text you wish to hide, and put [/sp] or [/sp2] at the end of the text you wish to hide.

Example:

If you wanted to write: The winner of today's race was Tommy Brown., but you wanted to hide his name, the exact text that you would write in your post would look like:
The winner of today's race was [sp]Tommy Brown[/sp].
After posting, (or in preview mode) it will look like:
The winner of today's race was Tommy Brown.

In the future, I may add buttons for this and other new codes, like there are for bolding or underlining text for example. At the moment you have to actually type the code yourself.
