Alright, Spoilers are very common after someone sees a movie, but please remember there are people who have yet to see that movie and just writing *SPOILER!!* doesn't do much.

I'm now asking users who want to add spoilers to their post to put in "Spoiler Tags" All this means is first, changing the font color to white:

like so

Then putting quote tags around the information you write:

Quote:
The end result should be this.

^((highlight it to read message))

This way anyone who wants to read the spoiler can highlight the info and read it, and the ones who don't don't have to.

Thanks,
Link

If you talk to M about this, there is a way to add a BBCode that is a Spoiler tag. Here is a Link to it *where you or M would have to look into it to see if it would work*

But I would backup the database right before anyone trys it just to be sure that it doesn't mess up the forum in anyway.

See this? We still do it. One movie was just ruined for several people, so let's try to pay attention from now on.
