We now have spoiler tags so you can mention spoilers without ruining games for those who don't want to read them. [/spoil ] are the tags you need, just remove the space from in front of the last bracket. The effect is [spoil]like this
Please use this code on any spoilers so readers can avoid finding out that it was Timmy who killed the vicar and it was all a plot by the evil Fishtank Man.
This applies more to games plot, rather than non-plot related information. I doubt anyone will have their game ruined if they read the Golden Horde appears in 1230 or that there is an area called phazon mines in Metroid Prime.
If someone posts spoilers please ask them to edit their post to remove or mark them. No abusiveness, once again this is not gamefaqs (yup, I really hate those forums) and I will throw hairpins at anyone acting like it is. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/gc-yes.gif

TosaInu is working on something that should allow spoiler tags to hide text until the reader highlights it. Until then please clearly mark any spoilers so readers can avoid finding out that it was Timmy who killed the vicar and it was all a plot by the evil Fishtank Man http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/gc-grin.gif

Type [spoil ] but remove that space before the last bracket; type your spoilers, then close the code with [/spoil ] again without the space before the last bracket.

Why did SwordMaster's quote of frogbeastegg's spoiler thingy end up displaying the contents of the spoiler? Why didn't my quote of Zelda's quote do the same thing?

There was an early teething problem with the spoiler tags, when quoted the spoiler was revealed. It's fixed now.

The spoiler tags Are Perfect for theose long ass quotes taken from a web page 2.
For example.
You can do this
[quote]
This paragraph would be the 1st paragraph in the Article you are posting,
It would contain a rough aproximation of what the Article is about and if anny 1 would wish....[spoi]To read on all they need to do is click on the Spoiler button,
This means that you dont haft to scroll down Through About 4o paragraphs of text that seems to endlessly scroll, When you didnt really need to read all of the article,[/spoil][quote]
Then youd simply state.
Article taken from "url rticle came from)

Just testing it out. Also useful to post game files like the unit prod file w/out forcing everyone who doesn't care to scroll down a mile
