Although, as I say over there, it isn't necessarily a spoiler - more a mistake that was flagged up previously.

I'm afraid that sometimes it is necessary to post about spoilers if we need them fixing - it is an idea to properly flag them up in the subject line but at the moment GS doesn't have any spoiler tags. I might go and see if this is a suggestion over on their own boards and if not suggest it.

It can usually be described without actually spoiling though. This one spoiler Skyfall for me. Staff needs to remove these after answered, at least.

I tried some HTML spoiler code I found online in those two deleted replies. Apparently the limited HTML on GS is too limited to get anything like that to work.

Thanks for giving it a go - I should have done but assumed they wouldn't allow anything like it to avoid advanced dickery. However, never assume; test.

Understandably, Get Satisfaction limits the subset of HTML code it allows. It would be very helpful for Get Satisfaction to implement Emperor's suggestion.

Thanks for highlighted that Dan.

It seems that the admins can customise the code here and add it in, they have people who can help us out if needed.

Here is the kind of code I had in mind - just some quick CSS: two styles and a span wrapper for the spoilers:

Actually should I start a new suggestion thread here for that?

We'll wait and see if an admin drops by and chips in.

If we keep it at the top, maybe they'll take a look to see what's up!
