I was thinking about this recently:
Now that we have the ability to embed videos it's not unlikely that topics will appear where participants are embedding a lot of videos. As both a functional and aesthetic choice, it would be nice to be able to hide videos and large images in the spoiler tags, which should be part of MyBB (IIRC; they're fairly common BBcode at least). It'd be functional because the contents of the spoiler tags usually aren't loaded until the tag is opened, saving some load time for threads with lots of images or videos, if they show up. Aesthetically, it prevents image clutter and large gaps between paragraphs of a single post or between two adjacent posts.
This could just be my preference, as the other forums I participate in have rules regarding page hogging and large embeds and I've come to like them, but I thought I'd put it out there anyway.
EDIT:
Just did some research (could learn to do that before asking something, especially when it's not something that takes very long), and it seems that MyBB doesn't have spoilers built in, but it doesn't look terribly difficult to implement (there's plugins and code available). Since it's not as simple to implement as I thought, though, I would like to make clear that this isn't something I'll ask you to do if it seems like too much of a pain, especially after you've just redesigned the whole forum (which has grown on me quite a bit).
