Spoiler Tags Not Working

  Sometimes, spoiler tags seem to not work, so everything in the tag is just gone, and it's really irritating. Anyone else having this problems? Thanks!
  
  It ruined this thread.

  I looked in that post's history and all you wrote was this:
  
  

  And my friend got placed in Russia (there are eight countries).
  
  [NOPARSE][SPOILER="Why would they put a gender queer person in RUSSIA?"][/SPOILER][/NOPARSE]

  
  
  Basically, it doesn't show anything inside because you didn't put anything inside because you didn't put anything there, you have to use it like this:
  
  

  [NOPARSE][SPOILER="[Insert Spoiler Title]"]Why would they put a gender queer person in RUSSIA?[/SPOILER][/NOPARSE]

  
  
  And with that, it will look like this:
  
  

  [SPOILER="[Insert Spoiler Title]"]Why would they put a gender queer person in RUSSIA?[/SPOILER]

  
  
  If you click the spoiler button in the editor, it also asks you for your title, but you still have to enter the content between the tags after that.

  Because there was complaints about people opening things in spoiler tags and it actually containing spoilers because people had begun to misuse it.
  
  Basically, it was to provide an easier way for people to know what was in the contents of the spoiler tag like if you were trying to keep the thread tidy for something that had lots of images like an informative guide.
  
  I actually like how it was changed as it's made life much easier when compiling information in the Foreign Content Section of Mabinogi. It's for the better.
