Public service post: HOW TO SPOILER TAG

You can either do the classic [*spoiler] and then [/spoiler] thing on these forums, that still works (without the asterisk obviously):
See how awesome it works?

But you can also simply use the drop down options menu above the box in which you’re writing. You can use either “Blur Spoiler” or “Hide Details”.

This is on a desktop computer:

Would love to have this pinned, it seems to come up a lot. Even for me alone, I forget it every time I haven’t used this forum in a while and for some reason I can never find the option in the drop-down!

Unfortunately, I think that’s up to the host program used for the forums, and not Failbetter themselves.
