The issue of spoiler text being un-viewable came up today in the iPad thread.
Of course, most GAFfers with mobile devices know well of ckohler's wonderful webapp, but with the advent of the iPad I'm sure a number of people would prefer the raw full-size edition of the site... which works great for everything other than spoiler text.
My solution was to write a simple bookmarklet that swaps the background text of spoilers between black and a gray color, which makes them readable.
To install it to your device, you can follow the directions at this page I put up here: http://neowaf.appspot.com/spoiler.html
All the screens are for the iPad, but the process is pretty much identical on iPhone/iPod devices.
Result looks something like this:
Note 1: If this topic totally bewilders you, you can read about bookmarklets on Wikipedia.
Note 2: If you feel particularly appreciative or generous, please check out my recently released iPad app, Textual, which specializes in securing your notes with sound encryption. http://itunes.com/apps/Textual
Note 3: This bookmarklet should really work on just about any vBulletin forum, and if you feel so inclined, feel free to spread the love and tell your other communities about it.
