I've been in this site for years and accessed this site through various PCs, media tab and phones -- along with various browsers, having either Chrome or Firefox for a main browser.

Then just recently, I've brought a new phone, along with a new version of installed Google chrome with it.

And that's when I've only recently found the existence of Spoiler Tags:

Show Spoiler

I can't give all the browser details and all that. I didn't kept track of that.

Now, from my point of view, I've used it;

And it's there.

So I went and see where else in this forum was used, only to find not on effect;

And... It's the only one I could find, so why not?

So I went and see if it's...

.. Huh.

So I went and see if the FAQ exists. I knew it exists somewhere, but...

Doing so just links the Games and Video Games at the forum itself;

Or the Television, Film and Video forum just leads to some old topic;

Overall, the sticky posts are gone, too, from this point of view.

I'm also aware there were some recent changes apparently being discussed elsewhere but this one seems old...
Either it not discussed for, well, years or the search engine sucks? :lol:

Also from this screen's point of view, it's messy (thinner screen and all) though there isn't much I could do about it and I wouldn't mind it myself.

Here's a bonus, too:

I'm already aware of the strike font myself, it just hadn't displayed this way.

If you click on the white box it will work like the quote icon but instead of "quote" and "/quote" it will put in " "spoil' and "/spoil"

If the user clicks on "SHOW SPOILER" it will change the display what is in-between "spoil" and "/spoil" and change the display to "HIDE SPOILER", click on "HIDE SPOILER" to reverse.

Review of movie

Show Spoiler

Weird how the new feature appeared without any advance notice.

Another method is to type the label "Spoiler: " and then follow it with transparent characters. To read the "Spoiler", just do a highlighting mouseover of the "Spoiler" text.

Spoiler: This is how I do it, and it works every time!

The above line war entered as:

Spoiler: <color=transparent>This is how I do it, and it works every time!</color>

(Just replace < with [ and > with ].)
