Does this board have a Spoiler plug-in? It would be useful when reviewing the 'trax without ruining the really good lines for those who haven't heard them yet.

I dont believe there is a spoiler tag, but makes sense to have one.

Yeah, but there's times when

YOU'VE JUST SEEN IT! YOU CAN'T UN-SEE IT!

Never looked for one but thank god no one seems to use this tag!

spoiler tags can easily be added to this forum software, i have done it for a few boards myself.

Somebody on the forums -- I forget who, so I apologize for not giving credit -- did this a few days ago for a spoiler:

He shrank the text really, really small.

You can use the font size tag, and set the value to something very small.  The above text is in 3 pt, which is basically illegible.  Anybody who actually wants to read the spoiler can then copy the text and paste it into notepad or what-have-you.  Everybody else remains blissfully unaware.

Yeah, that works.  Another way to check out the shrunken text is to hit the "Quote" button, where it'll then appear regular-sized.

3 point font isn't nearly small enough...  It needs to be less than 1 point if possible ;)

I like the shrunken Font idea. It should be an unwritten rule that we "just us it" when we're talking about a movie.
Its kinda like the unwritten rule that truckers flash other truckers to let them know when to pull back in from the passing lane. Except this has nothing to do with driving on the road.

Theres a creepy thought for halloween  :-",
In brightest day, in darkest night
No DVD shall escape their sight
Let those who tremble in bad movies light,
Beware the power, Rifftrax's might!

leaving sour cream under your bed for a week will cause it to spoil

I actually did that not long after creating this thread. I kinda solved my own problem, but I still would like an "official" Spoiler tag.
