With all these new functions, I wonder if vB offers a “wrap spoiler tags” button? It’d be a great help in CS.

Jerry is still quite busy chasing performance issues and tweaking the server and the system. We won’t be considering any changes until this process is finished.

Sure, I understand that. It’s just that when you’re considering further upgrades in the future, this is on top of my list.
