I can't click any spoilers!

The 'show' button seems to have stopped appearing under chrome; there's a blue bar with the spoiler label, but no way to actually see what's in there.

Which is maddening, as I'm sure you can imagine.

I checked in firefox and they do seem to still work there

    I updated chrome, but that didn't seem to fix it

    I assume there's no reason such as adblock/noscript would be tripping it up, but I tried getting rid of those too

    I don't think an adblocker will cause issues, but a script blocker will absolutely stop spoilers from working. I think I was using ScriptBlock and after clicking Allow and Trust for a few minutes to get the spoiler buttons back I gave up and just disabled it entirely.

    Yup, this. Similarly, if you're running NoScript on Firefox it'll prevent spoilers from working. Just whitelist forums.penny-arcade.com and you should be golden.

    okay, I'm having a bit more of a look at this. It appears that on my desktop I'm experiencing three .js errors that don't appear in firefox or on my chromebook
    Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected end of input: global.js line 72
    Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token illegal: discussion.js line 60
    Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected end of input: jquery.tokeninput.js line 79

    for whatever reason, chrome seems to stop loading the script at those lines

    I assume this is some weird client issue, but I'm at a loss to debug it further. Gonna try reinstalling chrome I suppose

    Did spoilers all become ellipses for everyone or just me? Because it's really hard to see the ellipses right now.

    Resulted in a weird bit where I thought I'd screwed up a post by overwriting my spoilers with an ellipsis, and then half a dozen people were mocking me for it.

    in a related bug,

    code blocks in spoiler blocks mess up the [...] graphic, with the code block peeking out the corner:
    this is code
    

    this is what I see, for reference:

    Other spoiler related stuff:

    Right clicking on these spoiler tags closes them, so if, for instance, someone posted an image in a spoiler and you want to open it in a new tab or whatever, you are unable to, as the spoiler closes before the menu comes up

    Spoilers cannot be opened when you're not signed in

    It does a similar thing if there's a youtube embed inside. You see a piece of the play icon.

    Adding another bug to the list for eclipses spoilers, I just opened an one that contained a hot linked image in it, and on top of opening the spoiler it opened a new tab and took me to the image on the other site.

    I'm on mobile (latest IOS) if that makes a difference.

    We're getting rid of the new spoilers so don't need any bug reports really.

    Spoilers cannot be opened when you're not signed in

    As an aside, something you might already know or whatever but just in case you don't, middle-clicking on a link is generally a shortcut to open in a new tab.
