But I'll add it to my growing TODO list.
Many thanks Norbert, this would be wonderful!

In fact, usually I look at those comments in each mod's page because I like to see "reviews" of a mod to understand which ones I should not miss out.... but if, when I look at such reviews, I also see some hints to solve very tricky puzzles, then it takes awai part of the fun :D

Anyway, it is so wonderful that there are so many different mods, this means that one can play PoP for years :)
Again many thanks!

I've added something similar to popot.org.
You can see it in action here, in one of the comments by endriuw.
Move your mouse on the gray area there.

Of course, Total Pack and poplaun still need to be modified to deal with that new spoiler tag.

This week I will move popot.org to a different server, which means there may briefly be some downtime.

[Edit: Done. If anything seems off, let me know.]

I see popot.org now supports HTTPS: https://www.popot.org/
The certificate is valid from 2017 March 6, i.e. the day you moved.

I have converted the Level Editors page into a table.
This should make it easier for visitors to quickly find what they are looking for.

Your own level editors ended up in the first four places...

Also, it seems as if PoPMap (for Mac OS) wasn't for any OSes.
Well, it's not for any *current* OSes.
But then, you also included "for DOS".

Yeah.
Only issue I found so far is that adding http in an https' iframe isn't possible.
Which means this forum (that has no https) doesn't show up here.
Not a real problem though; there's still the textual link to open the forum in a new tab.

I'm not sure whether the iframe was useful in the first place.

Completely restyled the website.
https://www.popot.org/
Page URLs have not been changed, so no links were broken in the process.
