can we get spoiler tags on the forum please.  
while the "hide" button works, it is more meant to hide multiple posts into a single post.

Unfortunately later versions of phpBB don’t support stuff from the DB/Modifications directory anymore, they switched to Extensions. However from what I’ve seen of other forums the "spoiler" tag is just a renamed "hide" tag (click to reveal hidden content). Example:

Erhan still is around and has administrator privileges but unfortunately they don’t have time to make fixes / additions / handle hosting anymore etc. so methecooldude is hosting and has managed to fix the Thanks system, chat, latest posts, etc.

Oh I see. The one you linked in your first post though says "obscures text in a box until the user clicks on it" which is also the same as the hide tag, but I think you’re looking for one that "obscures text until user hovers on it"?

Unfortunately ones like the following aren’t compatible with the newer version of phpbb:

[https://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/mod/ ... poiler\_mod](https://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/mod/mouseover_spoiler_mod)

Is there any recent extension/code for phpbb version 3.1.x? I searched phpbb site and the on hover ones seem to be over a decade old mods so no longer compatible sadly, and another I found mentioned in the past year apparently doesn’t work well on mobiles, I hear the current layout is meant to be compatible for mobile too. ![:(]( "Sad")

the click one is better  
also if you look at your hosei thread or whenever ernie posts stuff, you see that the hide button works better at hiding a lot of stuff into single post which is good because its working as intended.
