Spoilers impossible in comments

[Katarsi]

For some reason I am unable to post spoilers in my comments in the Comments section of mods.

I tried all of these and they don't work:

[spoiler ]text[/spoiler ] - I added spaces in square brackets to avoid formatting; the spoiler tag apparently works just fine in forums

[spoiler ]{text}[/spoiler ] - same as the above

[spoiler=title]text

[spoiler={title}]{text}

Is it possible at all to post a spoiler text in comments? I would like to use it to save space if my comment is very long.

The first option (without the extra space) should work fine in comments - can you point me to a comment of yours where you tried that but it didn't work?

Well, this is weird. I tried it now and it works.

 

Several times before I have tried putting a spoiler. I checked if I wrote it correctly as well. In the end I always deleted the broken text, so I can't really point you to comments where it happened.

The last time was this morning, here; I ended up posting a pastebin link instead of a spoiler because I didn't manage to make it work.

 

I honestly have no idea what might have caused this, but I'm glad it doesn't happen anymore.

Due to the way the posts load, sometimes the spoilers "pop" in existence a few seconds after your post is saved. It might just have been a hiccup which a page reload might have fixed?

It might have been an internet hiccup, so the page didn't get to load properly?

 

The internet phone service in my area is kinda bad (even though I live about 6km from downtown of the second largest city in my country). The speed is fine, but it's fluctuating in the sense that it goes off for a few seconds from time to time. And I have no alternative :sad:
