Reading the Stranger Things thread, its great that people are consciously not adding spoilers, this is hard to do at times, for any Movie/TV thread.

I was wondering how much influence Phil has on the site development and would it be possible to have a spoiler button added that hides text, so only those who want to can read the content.

As an example, this Newcastle site does this.

https://newcastle-online.org/topic/36570-what-are-you-watching-right-now/page/187/#comments

This can also be used for non spoiler content that some may not want to see.
 
Yeah, the Port Vale messageboard has
tags meaning you get something like this:

reveal hidden content

Click on it and bingo - content revealed. I tried it on here but it's not activated.

Yes, the Newcastle forum example I linked is the same. It allows people to make a specific comment on something they liked or didn't, ask a question on something they didn't understand or speculate, all without giving away the subject to those who want to see it but not yet watched.

Its also used where there maybe graphic or NSW content where you don't want to offend anyone.
 
The Titanic sinks at the end of the film , just in case someone has not seen the it yet :D
 
Just add words in between the spoiler tags as above or press the button above

lol, not sure who that comment is targeted at or what prompted it?

Dickey feels guilty because he knows he ruined the last bond film for us all , we had to watch the film knowing poor James was going to die, not another day but today

Putting that in a spoiler would have been good (with pre-text stating Bond Spoiler), unless your kidding of course.

The latest Bond has just surfaced on Crave and I'm planning to watch it soon.
