Two ideas to make forum posts better to read

Dear community,

I've been on the forums for a little while now. And I have found it weird that there are certain options "missing" when creating a forum post or a response to one.

The first once is cantered text. Especially when placing images, I think the option to be able to centre out text can make the whole a lot better.

The second one has some personal reasoning to it. Last week I posted the "Mountain Falls" map concept. If you read this, you might remember how long it was. Whilst you didn't want to even read all of it.

Most forum these day have a spoiler function, that lets you 'compress' and title a piece of text or image. The compressed context takes up only one line now. If the user is interested, he can choose to show the spoiler, and still be able to read the full text.

This would also help you keep posts a but more simple and short.

If you just so happen to agree: up-votes saves life's!

I think it's a little funny that you ask the ability to center text, and use an image macro that explains why centered text is a bad thing.

Seems nice and convenient.
