[ SPOILERS=" asd "][/SPOILERS ]

It should be this but I have no idea why it dissapears.

If this works, then you have to highlight the words you want to wrap in a spoiler tag first, and then type a description (label) of the spoiler in the pop-up box.

Spoiler tags are explained in this sticky thread:
http://www.movieforums.com/community/showthread.php?t=1495

And you can preview: there's a "Preview Post" button on the Post Reply page, and you can hit "Go Advanced" if you're using Quick Reply.

The most common mistakes are using "spoiler" instead of "spoilers", and not including the name of the movie.

I've enabled pop-ups, but nothing comes up... And unless it's a NEW POST, I can't preview, or I can't even see the SPOILER ! exclamation point

You'll have to be more specific: why can't you preview? There's a "Preview Post" button on both Post Reply and New Thread, and as I mentioned above, "Go Advanced" does the same thing if you're using the Quick Reply. It doesn't require popups.

The instructions are in the link I just posted, but I'll reproduce them here. A spoiler looks like this (without the asterisks):

[*spoilers=The Dark Knight]Whole lotta punchin'[/spoilers*]

Try this, but without the spaces at the beginning of the tags:

[ SPOILERS="Description Text"]Words in the actual spoiler.[ /SPOILERS]

Kinda hard to sift through exactly what's happening, but it sounds like you're hitting the spoilers button (IE: this: http://www.movieforums.com/community/images/editor/spoilers.gif) and THEN entering the code. The code is the "manual" way of doing it, though--you just enter it into the text box directly. The button is just a shortcut if you don't like doing that. If you hit that (and it's nowhere to be found on Quick Reply, so I don't think that can be the reason for anything), you get a JavaScript prompt. Into that you enter the movie title. Then it'll create the tags for you, and you enter the spoilers between them.

Let me know if that clears anything up. If you're not getting the JavaScript prompt, then PM me and we can debug, because it's a browser issue. And/or you can just not use the button and enter the text for the spoilers tag directly.

Let's see if I can do a spoiler tag, so far I haven't tried one.

After time, the girls that once had been fast friends, learned again how to embrace whatever happiness they had left inside them. Except for the girl with the red bracelet, she was heartbroken and buried her pain deep inside a fantasy that would dominate her short life. She'll be missed but in my heart I know she's better off.
