I was thinking it would be a cool feature to have for blog comments, like we do in forums. So, any idea why spoilers don't work in blog comments?

I'm not sure why, since BBcode is enabled so you can use Quote's if you type them out, a member of the staff would have to explain why they aren't enabled for the blog comments, but it'd be nice to have the option to do in case you're commenting on a gaming blog of someone's and don't want to give them a spoiler accidently, that way if you aren't sure if it'd spoiler the game for them or not you can hide it in the spoiler code.

You're welcome, thanks for the PM on it, since if not for that I wouldn't have saw it since it had fallen off towards the bottom of page 1. :P

I don't know the technical aspects, but it seems easily doable.

I rarely blog anyway, but I can't see why not; the spoiler coding isn't quite as simple as the quote one but there's nothing I can think of that could cause problems with implementing it in blogs as they are essentially the same as normal posts; Support.

If you can use other forms of BBcode, I don't see why that one has to be omitted specifically.

I don't think I'd use it much, but I can see where others would find it useful. Seconded.

It would certainly make blogging about games a little easier.

Especially if it's a blog asking for help for the game. That way users could answer without ruining things for others, although this can also be taken care of by just asking in the shared board forum for the game where you can use spoilers, but it'd still be a nice feature to have for those that don't use the shared boards. Although if I ever had a question for a game the first place I'd go is to the shared board for the game, but that's because I started posting in the shared boards before I started posting in the GS forums so I'm aware of them where other users might not be as observant when going to game pages and might not even know about the forums.

No, you misunderstand. You CAN use spoilers in blogs but NOT the comments right now.

To do spoilers you simply have to do the following code:

[spoiler] Your text here! [/spoiler]

Result:

[spoiler] Your text here! [/spoiler]

To do spoilers you simply have to do the following code:

It also tells you how to do spoilers in this stickied thread from the How To GameSpot board.
