Nah. It’s never officially been a button. You just type [noparse]spoiler here[/noparse]

I do have a [UserScript](https://openuserjs.org/scripts/BigTSDMB/SDMB_S_Button_Adder) that adds a spoiler button, though. In that case, it looks like a radiation symbol.

Not all the tricks vBB is capable of are available as buttons. I sometimes use del tags when I want to [del]insult[/del] talk about the current administration.

If you want to see how someone did something, quote the post and (depending on some settings) you’ll be able to see how it’s coded.
