Confirmation on a spoiler function?

Sir ArmaMalum·Jul 18, 2014·5 votes·284 views

Hey Beta Team! Just like title, I just wanted to ask (beg) for confirmation that a spoiler mechanic of some form or fashion is being considered for the boards. I think I can speak for every Champion Concepter, Discussion Poster, E-sports Aficanados and simply anyone who makes a post 500+ words or so long in that we would use them with gusto and with much appreciation. Especially with the simplified format eliminating the capacity of Header sub-division >_<.

I know I might be talking out of my ass here as I've not messed around with coding nearly enough, but I feel like the collapsing of comments are using the same essential process and while contorting that process to fit into an input users can control may be harder than I realize, I'm simply just perplexed at why this isn't talked about more from either side.

Happy Friday!

Would this be a spoiler function where you have to click to reveal the spoiler, or highlight the space where the spoiler is? I've seen both in forums

That's actually a really good question, I didn't consider the confusion, I meant the 'click and expand' kind of spoiler. My best example would the kind used in the forums for Warframe.

Haha, just a minor point. I actually personally preferred the highlight method for specifically spoilers, that way it doesn't interfere with the spacing of the rest of the page, and I almost feel like it's easier for some reason (even though it's probably not), but it's a minor point; I really don't mind either way. The expandable way would also be much more useful.

By the way I'm surprised by the brevity of this post :P

I can, at very rare times, actually get a point across in just a paragraph or two. Very rarely though :P
