> Well, it looks like we cannot nest spoilers, to speak of, or make them multiple lines (that is, with returns within) just to warn you: this could get ugly but they do seem to function as inline redactions.&nbsp;

Use the clickable spoiler for that.

Another excellent use of the clickable kind is to reduce post size. Like, if I were for some reason listing all the nations of the world, I might post

> **A**
>
> Afghanistan  
> Albania  
> Algeria  
> Angola  
> Andorra

> **B**
>
> Bahamas  
> Bahrain  
> Bangladesh  
> Barbados  
> Belarus

and so on.

Aside (nesting a blurred inside a clickable):

They differ from chat rooms in that messages are often longer than one line of text, and are at least temporarily archived. Also, depending on the access level of a user or the forum set-up, a posted message might need to be approved by a moderator before it becomes publicly visible.

It’s one of the stalkery little messages that pop up in a box by itself just above your post. There’s also one for members who are making their first post. Admin might have turned them off.

Another feature which you may or may not find pleasing: I copied the text quoted below from the npr site, just by selecting it and hitting copy, then pasted it directly in here; you will note that the text contains an active link: I did not do anything to get that, it just pasted in the fully formatted text (including italics). vBulletin did not carry forward with formatting and links, at least for me (I was mostly using the luddite-style editor, though).
