    When you have a spoiler tag, there is nothing to indicate what's in the spoiler, unless you actively state what's in it. For example:
    Master Xehanort is evil.
    That could have been anything, from a KH spoiler, to a Harry Potter spoiler, to announcing that Rosebud was his sled. Spoiler tags should have something that states what is being spoiled.

    In other forums, I have seen the spoiler tag include this feature. When the Insert Spoiler Tag button is clicked, this appears for the person to type in the series that's being spoiled. In this case, I'd type in "KH BBS".

    This'd give me a spoiler tag of , which I could then fill out with my message.

    When unopened, the spoiler would appear as:

    And when clicked, it would show:

    As other forums already have this in place, I imagine it should be a fairly minor tweak, although I guess it mightn't be supported on our version of vBulletin.

    You can already do that, you just have to type the "=spoilsubject" yourself.
    Huh ? It doesn' t work ? What the hell, that' s strange ...

    Indeed. Otherwise the "" I typed in the original post would have shown up as a spoiler.

    Alright, here's what I've got, because spoilers have been needing to be upgraded a bit anyway, haha.
    The old spoiler tags still work. I did this so that all of our spoilers from the past few years won't break. Which would be bad. See, you can still use them.
    Look at me!

    But you can use the new ones, too!
    Oh my gosh!
    How to do it:
    [*spoiler="Look, a custom title!"]Oh my gosh![/spoiler]
    Remove the asterisk, obviously.

    They can also be toggled, as you can see.
    Enjoy. :] Let me know if you've got any problems.
