Everyone- I'm sorry, but where do I find the instructions for how to do a spoiler? I've tried looking everywhere I could think of, I know it's somewhere on the forum... I'll bet I tripped over it without noticing...

The easy way:

Highlight the text you want to put in the spoiler.

In the reply window, look above the box in which you put the text. Above a line of emojis there's a line of little squares with symbols in them which are probably supposed to be self-explanatory, but aren't. Look for the one that says Sp in it. Click on that. The text which you highlighted should now be in a spoiler.

Oh the turnip! One

Actually turnips and swedes don’t tend to cause more gas, but they affect the smell in surprising and unpleasant ways!
