To my awareness, SMF boards that support spoiler tags such as this one are capable of supporting many different types of spoiler tags (see here for my source on that).  This board presently uses the first type listed on that page; spoilers are hidden until they are moused over, and are hidden once again when the mouse leaves the spoiler's frame.  The other two types operate by clicking instead; the spoilers are hidden at first, and their visibility can be toggled by clicking on either a link or a button.

The other spoiler settings would be more compatible with nonstandard browser setups including mobile phone browsers, browsers without scroll wheels, and possibly even text browsers (depending on whether they support the mechanism triggered by the click), as all of these are capable of clicking or emulating mouse clicks.  Moreover, for all browsers including standard browser setups, the alternative spoiler settings would make it more convenient for users to see the contents of spoilers hiding large blocks of text.  It may be worth considering either changing this setting in the default theme or supplying an alternate theme with alternate spoiler formats enabled.

Yes, I recall a while back someone was lobbying to get the spoiler tags changed to button-click ones.

Spoilers are a relatively new thing here, but I'd agree -- I definitely prefer the "click" toggle rather than the mouse over type.  Just depends on if it would be a practical change.

Just for ease of use:

[spoiler]If you're seeing this, you must have clicked on the right button.[/spoiler]

I'll check it out on my iPad in a sec.

EDIT: Works there. I'd be interested to hear if it's fine on a phone or other devices Smiley

That is so much better… Smiley Smiley Smiley Smiley

Also, I tried the button on my PS3's web browser, and it works fine.
