So, there is a rule that NSFW material should be behind double spoilers. I just posted something that is borderline NSFW (not strictly but enough to warrant it maybe). Anyway, it looks like double spoilers gets converted into a single spoiler on the new board software.

Athough I’m not aware of any double spoiler rule. One well marked spoiler has always been enough

No, it had to have a 2-click rule. One spoiler, one link. Like this:

[You should probably make this hyperlinked text, and not just the URL, because that will embed the video.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ)

Oh, well, I guess I misunderstood the rule. Nevermind then.

Just to confirm, it’s a two-click rule. Putting it in one spoiler box is sufficient.

I’m thoroughly disappointed this wasn’t a NSFW link for science.

Is this more what you were thinking?

The implied question here is: How to make nested spoilers work.

They don’t. I played with that a while back. Spoilers within spoilers don’t work in any reasonable way. HOWEVER, as demonstrated in several posts above, nested [details] . . . [/details] blocks work exactly as one might expect.

I said NSFW, not NSFL.
