If you look at list of bbcode things when you make a post, you'll see that there's a new spoiler tag.
You can use this to hide stuff, like advice on how to beat levels so that you won't spoil the level for those who don't want advice.

But how do you make it so that only one person can see it?

edit: oh, it works. nice!
now let's see the digg.
[spoiler=3] [spoiler=4] [spoiler=5] [spoiler=6]Moo!
[/spoiler][/spoiler][/spoiler][/spoiler]
well the digg definitely fails.

lol why on earth would you put a spoiler within a spoiler. Also, btw, look what happens when you put more than one spoiler on the same post:
I wonder if I should take the time to fix that...

Hurray! Nice job, Accel.
However, *some* sites actually allow you to name the spoiler. As in, if you wanted it to say something other than "Show/Hide Spoiler", you could put <spoiler="How to beat the boulder puzzle"> Push the boulder</spoiler>. And clicking "How to beat the boulder puzzle" would tell you how! Wow!
So yeah, that would also be pretty cool. Y'know, if it isn't too hard to add...
Edit: And yeah, you should probably fix that.

Yeah, I support that, though you should work on multiple spoilers first.

is naming really necessary? I assumed that if you read the post, it'd tell you what it was for..

First and foremost, work on multiple spoilers. But if I were to make a detailed step-by-step walkthrough of each level in a game, say HATPC, and wanted to hide the gem placements in spoilers, it *could* be useful to name them like Tutorial 1 Gem, Tutorial 2 Gem etc.
Multiple spoilers though will be much more common and needed though so work on that.

There's something that I don't like about the spoiler feature, but I don't want to ruin it for people who like it the way it is

but then it'll be confusing if a bunch of text comes up. you won't know what's part of the spoiler and what's part of the post

True. But I'd still like to find a way so that we can use spoilers mid sentence. Maybe make the spoiler part gold, and if you click on it, it will go back to the "Show Spoiler" thing?

What was that random error in the end of Q's post about? O_o
Spoilers mid sentence would be pretty annoying for one who doesn't want to read the spoiler. I like this the way it is.

Yeah, maybe make a spoiler font colour.
Also, this is may be kind of nitpicky, but it seems like the Show/Hide spoiler button should be part of the spoiler textbox itself, instead of just hovering over it.

hey I got spoiler titles to work. now I just need to make it look better. you need to type in [ spoiler name='']
it used to be in the box, but then Isa complained about how ugly it looked
Isa

If not possible, could you make it so that after "Spoiler:" the title would be written again?

Yeah, I think I remember him saying something like that. Either him or Dando, but it wasn't me.
