    Want to make a spoiler and don't know how to do one? Not to worry!

    Spoilers are very easy to create and customize, here you'll quickly learn how to make one yourself for your signature, or messages in case you need them.

    1. Basic Spoiler:


    This is mainly used when a very long message is posted, to not occupy much space. This is also used as the base for all customized spoilers. The only necessary thing to do is place the 'spoiler' tags as follows.

    Code:
    [spoiler]message[/spoiler]
    Which creates this spoiler:

    message


    2. Named Spoiler:

    Using 2 or more spoilers and want to classify them by giving them names? Or just want to give them a cool name showing its contents? Here's how you do it. Just replace the 'Spoiler Name' words with however you want to name your spoiler!

    Code:
    [spoiler=Spoiler Name]content[/spoiler]
    Which brings the following spoiler:

    content

    As you can see, you can add spaces in your spoiler name. Also, you can add exclamation and admiration marks, as well as periods. However, notice you can't add commas for all of it to show. Why? Because it is another naming feature...


    3. Open/Close Named Spoilers:


    For example:

    OHAI

    It can be done using this code:

    Code:
    [spoiler=Closed Spoiler Name, Open Spoiler Name]Message[/spoiler]
    
    Just replace 'Closed Spoiler Name' with the name you want it to show when closed, which is as it appears before being clicked, and 'Open Spoiler Name' with the name you want it to show when someone opens it. Don't forget to place a comma between them.

    **In the example I provided. Closed Spoiler Name = Hey! Open this!. Open Spoiler Name = Surprise! Message = OHAI

    Thank you a lot. I just found a weird glitch that glitches the spoilers. Try below
    |
    |
    \|/
    Hello. Now start opening the unopened ones and then close them. Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to open all of the spoilers, then close them all. Have fun <insert troll face here> (And no, you cannot refresh the page. How would you refresh real life huh?!)

    I'm not quite sure about what you mean, if you have an example on a thread or a more clear explanation I can work it out for you.

    Do you mean something like this?:

    Line 1
    Line 2
    Line 3

    Well, that's odd. Pressing "Enter" within the Spoiler tags should do the trick.

    Make sure you're following this format, maybe you duplicated the 'Spoiler' tags accidentally and didn't notice:

    Code:
    [Spoiler]
    Line 1
    Line 2
    Line 3
    Line X
    [/Spoiler]
    
    Line 1
    Line 2
    Line 3
    Line X
