    Simply, allow users you hide a or spoiler certain aspects of their posts to allow us to reduce post length by spoilering/hiding TL;DR stuff or code that could take up significant post space, and allow other users to open if they want to see what's inside if they want, or just get the general idea of the post without having to scroll through the whole thing.

    I second this, I had wanted to hide most of the text on my suggestion threads, and just show the titles and summaries for convenience.

    This will make our shiny new 1.0.10 mods so much more organized, and so much less wall-of-texty!

    I'm working on it. Currently I'm running into some cross browser rendering issues that are delaying its release but it is my top dev priority.

    While these aren't final designs I thought I would give some updates for those waiting for this feature.

    Looks great. I recommend putting the button on the left. Actually, not if you plan on enabling text inside the collapsed bar. It would be great if we could do:

    Diggles lay eggs.

    Ideally, clicking the whole bar would show/hide the contents.

    Horrible idea. Desperately needs an account option to have them automatically expanded.

    EDIT: Specifically, to have an option to have these tags default to unhidden/expanded, for those who want it. Why make people jump through hoops just to read a post?

    So I have done a fair bit of testing and things seem to be working fairly well. If you notice any errors in the UI please post here with your browser and the error that's happening.

    I plan on adding a button in the editor once I find a suitable icon.

    Heh, I like how my previous comment's spoiler automatically works now. I guess I used the right syntax. :)
