Why the devil can't I see certain text? I'm not a user of reddit so is this some kind of joke? I'm reading this on my iPhone.



Also on an iPhone. The reason is they're using a 'spoiler' tag that hides the text until it is selected. Unfortunately we can't do that...


Tap the text and it will become visible, then it navigates to reddit.com/s (no idea why). Then click back and the text will still be readable (just confirmed on my iPhone 4)


It is a hack using links.

It is formatted like this (IIRC):

  [spoiler](/s"More goes here")
then in CSS there is a match for url[href=/s] that provides the onmouseover stuff.
