Hello yall.

Previously, spoiler tags worked by simply hiding the content and then showing it upon being clicked. Now, spoiler tags are truelly empty and only load the content upon being clicked.

So check this example. If your browser doesn't have this gif saved in its cache, it should start playing from the beginning upon opening the spoiler for the first time.

Spoiler for Hidden:
<img src="http://i.stack.imgur.com/r0KZX.gif" alt="" class="bbc_img">



The advantage of this is not really that gifs start from the beginning, but that users with slower Internet don't needlessly load data. (I was on wifi the other day and discovered this problem) So with OPs and what not with lots of videos, please put that data heavy content in a spoiler tag. People wanting to see the op can click and see the op no problem, while people who already saw the op can post comments on the first page faster.



Like it?

Yes, seems to be working here. Good idea too; particularly for people using mobile data.
