It only works if your post # is EVEN (title post is post # 0). It's visible otherwise due to the alternating colors...

even so, it's still an improvment over leaving spoilers plainly visible.

We could use one of my text encoder programs. For example:

SPOILER KEY="1234"

(encoded spoiler)

END SPOILER

Then you would decode the text with the decoder. The programs are on my main machine, I'll upload them if I get a chance.
[schilcote] It doesn't have to be good, it just has to not be "wow is that the only thing you could think of" bad

or we could use really small red text.
this is an example of spoiler text




one must only copy it and paste into notepad.

That's a good way to do it, and to read it just click "quote" if you are to lazy to copy it to a notepad.
