Using Spoiler Tags to freely discuss books (UPDATED)

[Tej]

I realise its a little suppressing to not discuss books without giving spoilers in the Book of the Month reads. Or conversely, frustrating for those who are still reading the books but afraid to go on the discussion thread for fear of having the story being spoilt.

I just found out that GoodReads support the use of Spoiler Tags so we can discuss freely without worrying about spoiling the story for those who havent read the whole book yet. Its a common tag used in most other forums.

So basically, you can hide spoilerific text by surrounding it with these tags:
and


So here is an example:

I have update my initial post as it got a bit wacked over time for some reason. Sorry to give away the result of 2015 World Series ;)

Thanks for the update, Tej. This is a useful tool. (view spoiler)[ And FUN! (hide spoiler)] I read your post above and was thinking, where's the one? Then realized (it was early here) that's what changed, right? Or did I stumble across that in an alternate reality? The current instructions, as edited above, couldn't be easier.

I'm trying to add another book chapter video from Youtube to my profile page but keep getting an error stating that it's already up.

This is a Paradox as it's not already up & as I've gotten this prompt twice I'm caught in a Loop as well.

No problem here, Tej. I've already seen the game. Howard brought back the 2015 video on his iPhone. Perhaps he'll post that as well, if above problem can be solved. Good luck!

Never mind.
