Would it be be possible to implement a spoiler button?

It would hide all the tagged content until the button is clicked on.

I suppose this would save a lot of trouble highlighting black texts, and makes the LP Updates less cluttered since the posts would just show a Spoiler Button per update without the hassle of image loading, stretching the screen all the way down.

Funny emoticons aside, I think this is a really good idea, especially for LPs.

And/or display spoilers when hovering over with mouse. Selecting text is so 2010.

Stumbled upon a JScript (jQuery) mod (in attachment of the linked post), thought it might come in handy for the Playground, since it's advertised to only load images after opening the spoiler and scale them to fit the page. Supports spoiler headers, bbcoded text, multilevel spoilers, etc..
If you already know about it, then forget I said anything, if not - there it is, in case you ever decide to use it.
Cheers
Thanks, I'll keep it in mind.
Don't have any real plans to put it in at this stage though.
...But there's only one stage to the Codex, isn't there? :M

It would be very welcome, specially on the playground.
What's the point of reading LPs if you don't want spoilers?

Also, current spoilers are superior to some popamole buttons, as you can highlight them partially before deciding if you want to read the whole spoiler.

Damn popamole fags "inventing" shittier, retardier, derpier versions of features working perfectly well as they are and not needing to be broken and bastardized with awesome buttons.

I think the idea is that people could post an entire update under spoiler tags, making it easier to navigate the thread and giving LPers more leeway to post multiple image-heavy updates on a single page without bump-whoring.

Either way is fine. If I had to choose, I have a slight preference for the way RK47 is suggesting (it allows you to hide images under spoilers, which can be useful even outside LPs, and the current method can be roughly replicated by changing your font color to match the background), but it may not be worth the time to implement it.

Maybe DU can take some of that sweet, sweet cash made from the summer fundraiser and use it to upgrade the forum a bit.

Of course there is probably none left after the whores, drugs, and booze were all paid for.
