Spoiler Button For Forum Posts

I was thinking it would be fun to have a spouiler button for forum posts. im sure this has probably bveen shot down before but i didnt see it. It would be cool to have for finders Keepers threads were you introduce an item without naming it and then the readers can click on the spoiler to see what it is. i know you can do something similar with the attached pics, but then it pops up on another tab and takes time to load blah blah blah. It would be good for game reviews in Gamers Gaunlet or movie reviews in everything Else. i'm sure some people can come up ith other creative uses for it as well.



Also, I was just flipping through the Latest Posts like I always do and it was a pain to weed through all the FS threads to try to find the discusions. i know there a drop down menu on the Latest Post page, but it just lets you choose one category at a time. it would be awesome to be able to pick more than one category, that way you can see all the stuff you want to see and none of the stuff yo dont, without having to weed through BS or go through categories one at a time.

    I believe that's what you were looking for.

  • I can't find a way to highlight or view that method using iOS.
  • Gotta copy and paste with iOS.

    This is how I hide text.
  • IMO a spoiler button like vbulletin forums would definitely be a big help for a sale thread.

    like my current thread, i have 100+ mixed items (NES, Famicom and SNES carts) listed. and let say a buyer just want to browse SNES stuff, they gotta scroll through NES and Famicom stuff to view them.

    spoilers can help group those items in categories eg: NES, Famicom, SNES, etc. and then buyers can just browse stuff from a certain category without having to go through all of them.
  • I second the option to weed out certain categories in "recent posts". I'm not a huge marketplace meathead, and sometimes it seems that 50% of recent posts are in the marketplace forums, especially if you include "daily bumps". A checkbox to include/exclude marketplace, gaming, and off topic discussion would be nice. That way someone specifically searching for gaming topics or marketplace topics could find what they are looking for more quickly.



    Browsing individual forums such as "gamer's gauntlet" and others isn't a viable option either. Suppose there might be something really awesome going on in the "brewery" section and I completely miss it because I wasn't reading there.



    Also, I sometimes use the white-out text method to hide spoilers, but a forum tag is so much more convenient and user friendly for both poster and reader. NA also needs a dedicated quote button for generic or off-site quotes.
  • I would also like a way to filter which categories I see when I use the Latest Posts button.
  • ^^hah! Count Duckula fan huh?
