You have to close the Spoiler tag with {/spoiler} {}=[]

Then you can type normally afterwards.

The close tag is the same as the one to open the Spoiler, except that a '/' is added. So you type {spoiler} (substituting [] for {}), then type the spoilt text, then close the spoiler with {/spoiler} (substituting [] for {}), then type whatever text you want after the spoiler.

A good hint is to hit the quote button of post which contains a Spoiler and see how they do it.

Then type!

CODE
[Spoiler]Spoiler text here.[/Spoiler]


I know the issue was solved already, but lots of people were using replacement examples when the [CODE] tag lets you use the actual code. So while the spoiler lesson was no longer needed, there was room for another one. :)

If that was a test of patience I failed really quickly. Anything interesting at the end or did he just cut and paste the spoiler tags 300 times?

It was my way of telling you that it's not fair, after several people have spent a lot of effort on ineffective methods of achieving something, to suddenly drop in and give a much easier solution to the problem at hand.

[It was only 15 times anyway...]

I don't think my suggestion to use the Quote feature to check how other people accomplish the task to be 'ineffective'. :P

LOL! That brings back old times. My mom used to wrap boxes inside boxes. It would take awhile but eventually there would start to be a bill or two inside the box, along with another box.

What was the bill for? All the boxes she bought?
