Neat. If I click on the left side, I have to click each individual number. But if I click on the right side, it immediately unblurs all of it.

When I’ve had trouble finding the spoiler function I’ve used a work-around: I just keep drinking whiskey until the words all blur.

> I post a lot on current running TV shows and therefore use the spoiler tag often. So it isn’t something that I revist only occasionally and just now noticed. Whatever change couldn’t have reached my phone more than a couple of days ago.

I’m sorry I was unclear.

I didn’t mean to imply you had just noticed an old change; I know you’re more observant and a more sophisticated user than that.

I meant that for whatever reason this old change has only recently propagated to your device. Or something about your screen configuration has recently changed which now raises the issue where it did not before.

I apologize if I’ve raised your hackles even a smidgen.
