I'm a couple of threads where people are telling the story of their Shepard and are posting a lot of images about it.

The images are great but at the same time, when revisiting the thread you have to do a great deal of scrolling to get to the new content.

Would it not be possible to have a tag system which would hide the content behind the tag until it was clicked on. The Escapist forum has such a system if anyone needs to see it in action..

Not only would this speed up loading of the pages would would make it much easier to make it to the new content.

Testing...

Spoiler


Seems to work.

I think you're out of luck on the content not loading until after you click "show" though. That would require dynamic content like AJAX or some other script or object.

Is there a link explaining how to show/hide pictures in a post? and insert pix behind this button in your comment?

 

I can't figure out how to do this in reply options. Thanks

Step 1: post a normal spoiler

like so: 

Spoiler
don't put text

Step 2: Click the middle of the spoiler in editing

use the image tool on the bar on that empty space in the empty spoiler when you are editing it's script

Step 3: post, and observe the results
