Spoilers and moving text

I miss them. The moving text was pretty good, but I miss spoilers. Is there a way to bring those back?

Moving text is a horrible feature to include. It was annoying, was overly used, and it's only use is for spam purposes.

Spoilers I do miss, as they are grear for.... well... spoilers. I hate spoiling endings or something for people and wish to hide that information. But I believe there was something wrong with the spoiler text and BHZ had to remove it. That's what I remember anyways.

Yeah, spoilers back would be nice. But, what has been done in its absence seems to work too. Where it's like this:

SPOILER:


















































































Snape kills Dumbledore.

That seems to work fine. Long as you let them know what it's a spoiler for, they can choose if they want to look at it or not, and they won't see it by accident. Just my two cents. If you don't like it...gimme back my pennies.

I don't really like that method. Probably the best substitute is the tiny-text message, which is exactly what it sounds like.

What if someone were to accidentally hold control and scroll down on their mouse? (Doesn't work on Macs, suckers)

Spoiler: A small bar on the back of cars to make them look cooler

I don't use spoilers that often, and I never used moving text, so if they could come back without messing anything up, cool, if not, I don't care.

I can't say for sure, because BHZ is the one who handles all the upgrades, but I believe spoilers were not included with the most recent upgrade of the forum software.  If I had any knowhow of adding stuff, I'd look into adding spoilers again, but that's basically like trying to read Chinese for me.

Nothing would happen. If you quoted their post, though, you would see it in the code. Then again, that would happen with spoilers, too. I think the tiny-text message is a decent way, even though spoiler tags would be more convinient for people who actually want to read the message (everybody)
