    I posted this in Development, but it seems noone ever Visits.

    Instead of dragging over the text of a spoiler, you could instead, have it as mouseover!

    I did the code of what I mean.

    For CSS file:

    .spoiler
    {
    color:#666666;
    background-color:#666666;
    }


    For HTML

    <SPAN class="spoiler" onmouseover="this.style.color='#FFFFFF';" onmouseout="this.style.color=this.style.backgroundColor='#666666'">TEXT HERE</span>

    It's pretty cool.

    you could always just tripple click on it...that said, I do like the mouse-over idea.

    But what if you don't want to see the spoiler and then you accidentally move the mouse over it and catch a glimpse and NOOOOOooo....
    Just a consideration. :)

    Would defeat the purpose of the spoiler then as you move your mouse across the screen ,if it went near it would highlight the spoiler you didnt want to see.

    I don't see anything wrong with the current system...

    I would however like to see the word spoiler: being removed from the start of it cos it's annoying and breaks up sentences... most people know by now what the spoilers are and we can do without the word

    I didn't know that mousing over something meant you had to read it.

    Well, no. But what about something like
    He dies in the end!!!
    .
    That could ruin a film/tv show etc for someone.

    current style just isn't big enough for the loudest of spoilers

    Double-click it. Treble for paragraphs.

    Yeah, I always go with the double-or-treble-clicking it... I dunno if vB would work with the mouseover idea. It might but I know very little about its dark internal workings...
