To make that, my code looked like this:

[spoiler=Microsoft buys Google - click here for more info!]No, sorry, just kidding. But, this does demonstrate the spoiler function nicely. :)[/spoiler]

As you can see, the formatting is very similar to a URL tag. Should you choose not to have a custom "before" message as I did, the default is "Hidden Text Below!".

This is a great way to avoid having to use "white text" in your posts to conceal some info that a user might not want to view initially. Though its uses are fairly limited, in in the few applications where you legitimately need to conceal text at-a-glance this feature should be very helpful. Please remember that the ToS still applies to things written in concealed text - you should not be using this to hide something that could get you in trouble.

Please enjoy this addition, and many thanks to BFRD for working to get this implemented!

IE created the WMP control and loads the video, but it doesnt start unless I click the play button. Is there some way I can edit the tag in the post so it wont cause a problem in some browsers? I only had the file in wmv format . If that doesnt work I can change the format when I get home
