It is goodly. But It'd be better if you could tag stuff in the middle of a sentence without having it forced onto another line. From a purely asthetic point of view more than anything else, plus it gives you more freedom on how you format your post.

I can see the reasoning behind making it the full paragraph like that,
People will spoiler the entire paragraph rather than trying to be cleaver and spoiler out particular words.
I can see some morons doing things like
In the next harry potter [spolier-broken]bob the janitor[/spoiler] dies.
Which is just irritation because if you're trying to avoid spoilers, you probably don't want to know that any major charecter dies, even though they've spoilered out the name.
At least this way people will tend to do the entire paragraph.
the only problem I have with this is that people are starting to use it like the old Size 1 text. We all know how annoying that got.

:roll: Every new feature gets abused within the first days of its introduction, then people forget about it.
Size 0 was annoying because people could really in truely hide things in their post. Like say.....the goatse address. And size 1 made it so a mod had to check every post to see if somethign like that was in there.
I think.

Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.
that was supposed to be sarcastic. I should have put quotes around it or something. I couldn't tell php from a monkey.
Oh, haha. I thought you were serious because Orth is always flaunting his PHP skillz.

[realspoiler:d4e5a6779f]This is a test of the REALSPOILER system. Please to be using real spoilers only for indicating real spoilers![/realspoiler:d4e5a6779f]
As sort of a social experiment, I've decided to initiate a REAL SPOILER tag. This tag should only be used for indicating real spoilers, so that somebody doesn't get fucked over by reading a spoiler that they think was a joke, when it really wasn't.
If I see that the realspoiler tag cannot be honored, then I may be forced to remove the spoiler tag entirely. If you are dying to try it out, you may do so IN THIS THREAD. If you are dying to tell everybody about it, you may LINK TO THIS THREAD.
p.s. the normal refreshing of css files will be necessary for you to see the updated formatting.

God damn I laughed at that.
But seriously, the spoiler abuse is already dying down, I recon it will be pretty much gone in a week

Not that anyone ever uses lists, but the url thing might be an issue.
[spoiler:64f0ce36c4]you need to google, here's a link[/spoiler:64f0ce36c4]
the word link isn't a spoiler.
But this makes me too happy to care.
oddly the color tags must go inside the url tags
Not at all odd if you're familiar with HTML and CSS
ooh look at me I'm good with computer languages. I could PHP your ass to a wall if I wanted to.

Not when you do stupid shit like this:
Let's have useless echo's! Woooooo.
The correct answer is:
Old versions of PHP that don't support <?= be damned.
Idiots that tie their code tightly to a particular very new php version be damned.
:roll: Every new feature gets abused within the first days of its introduction, then people forget about it.
Size 0 was annoying because people could really in truely hide things in their post. Like say.....the goatse address. And size 1 made it so a mod had to check every post to see if somethign like that was in there.
I think.
I like this feature, and it's abuse will pass in time.
This will get ignored.
Idiots that don't update their version of PHP (when they can) be damned.
We do. It normally goes something like this "Jailed Senor Amor for being a moron"
And amor, when you need stability, software isn't updated untill you are sure it's not going to break software.
THAT'LL NEVER HAPPEN! HAHAHAHAHA!

Supposed to be.
That, and I think I suggested it a bit before you did.
