yeah,
Dude i might have had this idea before? Is it possible to describe the nature of a spoiler when using the tag.

Something like when you do quotes {quote=panic says} to say who saying it?

Panic says wrote:I want spoiler descriptions!!

{Spoiler=Panic wants} Spoiler Descriptions!! {/spoiler}
so it reads...
Spoiler: Panic wants click to show


Or even replace the word spoiler with the text - {spoiler=My Nurgle Army List}
So instead of saying spoiler it says My Nurgle Army List

My Nurgle Army List click to show


Panic...

Yep, I've seen that on other sites, and it's pretty cool.

Definitely come up before. Definitely useful! Probably not very high priority but Lego's been on a roll recently!

That looks pretty neat.

That would actually be pretty cool.

I've looked into a bit, but it is not really easy to add. The spoiler code is a bit ugly as it has to do some aggressive work to avoid tripping off the anti-javascript feature when the thread gets parsed, so adding in spoiler descriptions would require a lot of overhead to re-integrate the tag into that section of the code. For all the work that is required, it would be better if users would just get in the habit of putting spoiler notes ahead of the spoiler instead of replacing/updating the bold text unfortunately.

Sorry for the slow reply on this one - I wanted to double check the code in detail before replying.
