The spoiler code section would appear not to mask urls, in the case of haven's google hack thing this was kinda difficult. I don't know how the spoiler code works, so masking links may be impossible, but, if this is the case, is there a way to STOP the BB code from autodetecting a url as a url, a tag or something, whihc forces it to be outputted in plain text?

This should be fixed. Spoilers now work differently, however, to work around the oddities.

First, you can't read spoilers if you don't enable JavaScript. There's a little DOM magic used to display them, otherwise they're hidden.

Second, once displayed you can't undisplay them unless you reload the page. That said, I figure that if you want to read a spoiler you want to still be reading it in a minute or so...

Third, you can't tell how long a spoiler is. That might actually be a benefit.

However, this is now robust against any form of code, smilies, links or whatever. It just works. Tested on latest Firefox and IE7.

Give it a whirl and let me know.

Here's one spoiler.

Here's another spoiler just to prove that they're independent of each other.
