Can we have a spoiler tag so we can discuss shameless gossip important news about TV without revealing all to those who would rather stay ignorant.

Oh yes we def need that. I have spent all evening avoid Downton threads and tweets as I am CRAZILY behind.
I am not a witch though. Think I am more of a sprite of some kind.

Cool, can you make if happen then?

Not to rain on a good idea, but since what a spoiler tag usually does is make the font between the tag white so you have to highlight to read, MN's feature to allow you to make the OP and your own posts a different background colour means it wouldn't work.

Or would mean a lot more tech work, as I suppose you could create it to know what background colour the person has on the post that is being posted that uses the tag...hmmmmm...

Or maybe we could just put "spoiler" in the thread title (no technical witchery required)

PinotScreechio · 31/10/2011 11:41

or just avoid those threads until you've caught up?

It doesn't seem that difficult to have a spoiler tag though.

Well, what do you mean by a tag?

josephinebonaparte · 31/10/2011 18:06

Like the tags to bold or strike through something

That's what I thought you meant. And, as I said, usually 'spoiler' tags make the text the same colour as the background, so you have to highlight it to see it. MNetters ability to choose a colour for the OP makes this a bit more difficult!
