Maybe I just didn't notice before, but it seems that with spoiler tags, you can now hover your cursor over the word "spoiler" to show the spoiler[text underneath].

I don't think it's a big problem, but the downside is that accidentally hovering - even for an instant - over some of the shorter spoliers is enough to reveal the whole thing.

I never meant to imply that it was a problem at all. I think it's better this way.

I dont, I much prefer the old method, as was stated before shorter ones get revealed instantly and if the the cursor covers the spoiler tab before you notice it then spoilers away without realising it.

happened to me twice now...

I like the new tag. May I propose another? I think it would be helpful in determining exactly where/what the spoiler is about...

Similar to how you can use [quote="patch"]blah[/quote] shows:
Patch wrote: blah

[spoiler="Episode 3"]blah[/spoiler] would show:
Episode 3 spoiler [blah]

I think this would be particular usefull for the dealing aholes who like posting manga spoilers in the anime forum -- so someone who is current with anime would still information on something that hasn't happen yet in the anime.

Mayber there's something like I've seen on a few Wiki sites where you click and it opens the spoiler.

I like the new spoiler tag, too. (I get to be even more lazy! Anime exclamation ) No, really, I think it's easier than highlighting the entire sentence/paragraph.

That's an interesting idea. As long as you can still hover "spoiler," then it's fine with me.

Oh....so it's a new spoiler tag....I was just gonna post something saying their was something wrong with the spoiler tags. Laughing Well, I think it's all right. Laziness will now increase like somebody previously stated. I just think it's a little bad if you accidentaly hover over a spoiler that could ruin the show your watching.
