Hi.

Is there a way to mark spoilers on GoG, such as that the actual spoiler is hdden / unreadable unless deliberately selected / clicked on by a reader ?

I can mark spoilers by simply prepending the subject of the topic by (Spoiler), or putting that wording in front of the message contained, of course -- but I feel that this really doesn't cut it. Sometimes there's a lot of good information to be shared, and within there may be spoilers, ruining parts of the experience for those, who are just looking for pieces of infonrmation about gameplay.

Any hints / pointers ?

Unfortunately, that functionality isn't available on GOG's forums. What most people tend to do is something like this:



SPOILERS FOLLOW
Spoilerish text goes here...
END SPOILERS


A bit of a pain (and some people leave a large space between the spoiler warning and the spoiler text so it's easier to skip it without mistakenly reading any), but it gets the job done reasonably well.
I thought along the line you suggested, but was looking for something a little more sophisticated for use in eg a continuous list of bullet points, hiding passages of text.

Thanks for the clarification about GoG currently missing this feature.
