Spoiler Code?

Dapper Dan:
I noticed that in several forums there are separate threads on the same topic....  "spoilers" and "no spoilers"  If you have the ability to add custom BB codes the addition of a spoiler code could cut down on some of the confusion and need for extra threads / forums...

This is an interesting thought - if threads could be marked for spoilers (i.e., S-D7 would be a spoiler for Dresden Files #7, or some such) then theoretically each member could have a 'spoiler tolerance' chart.  So if my chart is set to D8, CA2 then the forum doesn't show me posts listed as spoilers for Dresden Files #8 and Codex #2.  If spoilers don't bug you then you just don't change your setting and all the posts are there for you.  When you get caught up you change your spoiler tolerance and voila!, you now get all the posts. :)

Neat idea.  Prolly a heckuva lotta freakin' work tho.

LOL... wow that would be a lot of work but really cool in the long run....  I'm not that advanced of a coder though.  I was referring to the addition of a simple BBC code so you could do something like [*spoiler] blah blah blah [*/spoiler]

iago:
I'll go even more dirt simple for you.

Post spoilers in the spoilers forums.

:)

Actually, I would say it would be  simpler for all concerned, in terms of having to check fewer subforums, if there were a spoiler tag. Now, if this forum implementation doesn't have one, no big deal, but if it's an option somewhere, it would be cool to turn it on. UnMod.org's new forums just added them, for instance, and they look quite nice. Basically, they create a button you have to click on for the text inside the spoiler to appear.
