phpBB Spoiler Tags ?

Hi Guys
Any chance you can enable (assuming this version of phpbb supports them) Spoiler tags ?
Just so when adding lots of background text to a build thread, it would be nice to be able to hide it in a collapsed section to prevent the post from being too long & annoying to scroll thru each time.
Or am I missing a trick and there is a way, but my old mans eyes have missed it ?
Just a thought, other than that, and in the words of the Lego song, Everything is Awesome !
Cheers
Sean

I cannot stand those collapsed pages so annoying to read each post.
Just click the icon to the right if the thread and it'll take you to the latest post I the page.

No, Sorry, I didn't mean the entire post or its replies - that's a threaded view.
I agree that view sucks and I wouldn't be able to stand it myself.
I mean the is BBcode tag installed or enabled in the phpBB server so you can embed stuff using
[spoiler=This is where you put you title of the text]This is what you can see when you click the title or button depending on version installed.[/spoiler]
Then you can better format lengthy post or structure the information better - not a different way of looking at all the replies.
If you ever go to a gaming or movie forum or even a joke you will find the punchline or spoiler hidden using this method. Like a different way of quoting another post inside your reply.
Don`t worry, it was just a casual question, its not a big deal at all & I wouldn't expect anyone to leap to install it if they aren't confident at installing or configuring the board software in the first place.
Anyway - it didn't stop me posting 6 pages of bumf at the start of my first build thread

Ah right gotcha
Btw could you reduce the size of the video in your sig, your combined sig is rather too large

No problem - let me know if this is OK or not and I`ll find something else trivial but smaller
This is only 109k and obviously less height without the text above
