I don't know if it's possible with the current system to put this in, so just tell me if you can't, but I think it would be a really good idea if you (whoever puts in the good change ideas) would put in an option to make a spoiler
where you can name it something different then spoiler, I just think that would be a good idea, just tell me if it isn't.

I think he's saying that instead of saying "Spoiler" next to the clickable bubble, you could customize the text. So that instead of seeing

Spoiler: (Show)

You could see

Your text : (Show)

Is that what you're saying, LieithLeif?

It could be a nice way to personalize or specify what kind of stuff you're putting in the spoiler, but I don't know how the programming behind it would work. Maybe the tags would be something like

[spoiler, title=Potato] Your spoilered content here [/spoiler]

would give you something like

Potato : (Show)

Is that what I'm getting out of this thread so far?

It's not a bad idea. I'm not sure how easy it is to change the default BBCode though.
It is true that people use the spoilers for things that aren't spoilers, but just need to be hidden to save page space.

I remember invisionfree having this, and it'd be convenient if we had it too. It was simply

Yeah, that's pretty much what I'm saying,
and yeah, I think I said in the original post that I don't know if the programming would be possible.

What do you mean, I have yet to use a spoiler tag correctly?
I use it fine when I can use it, which is an interesting thing, this forum doesn't let you use any of the features it has like the spoilers when you are on a cell phone/iOS device, that's something that could use fixing.
