Technically, the appropriate tag would have been the [IMGHIDE] tag that ended up being good for only one image.

Actually, I'm wondering about the code used there. It's possible I might be able to fix that now. :?

If by fix you mean make people actually use it instead of continue to use spoiler2 and if you can do such a feat...

nah we just care more about our spoiler warnings being in front of actual spoilers than about forum borders these days, that's all.

I may just rename it "hidebox" or something. Seems wasteful to just toss it out but it ain't strictly necessary for spoilers per se (esp. given the new clickoff spoilertags). And then people can use it for w/ev as long as it doesn't get dumb. I dunno.

...we can click those away? *tries* Wow. All this time I've been just highlighting the hidden text, like with TvTropes spoilers.

Highlight or mouseover is how it often works, but the click is just as easy. My only complaint about it is that you have to reload the page/post to again see what was originally spoilered, but that's a personal preference thing -- it's just as useful to/wanted by others to be able to click once and not have to do anything else.

Ideally a second click would re-spoilerize the text and I even think some people helpfully posted the code to do it in that thread we had about it, at some point I should really dig that up and plug it in.
