How do I read a spoiler on the iPad?

[opus]

This may be more of an iPad question than a site question, but I’ll give it a shot. I can only find a way to “highlight this box to see the hidden message” on the PC.

For example:

https://sitcomsonline.com/boards/sho...&postcount=903


The spoiler thing usage isn’t very prevalent around here so this is not a major problem.

Not surprisingly, it doesn't work on my Mac either.

It's a custom BB Code. I guess it only works on PCs.

BB Code: spoiler (id: 13)
Title
Spoiler

BB Code Tag Name
spoiler

Replacement

<div style="margin:20px; margin-top:5px">
<div class="smallfont">Spoiler: (<i>Highlight this box to see the hidden message.</i>)</i></div></font>
<pre class="alt2" style="margin:0px; padding:$stylevar[cellpadding]px; border:1px inset; width:$stylevar[codeblockwidth]; height:{$blockheight}px; overflow:auto"><div dir="ltr" style="text-align:left;"><table bgcolor=#D5D5D5><tr><td><font color=#D5D5D5>{param}</font></td></tr></table></div></pre>
</div>

Explanations:

Title: The title of your tag, which will be used to generate the BB code list.

Tag: This is the text for the BB code, which goes inside the square brackets.
e.g. you would use 'b' for [b] tags, 'url' (without quotes) for [url] tags.

Replacement: This is the HTML code for the BB code replacement. Make sure that you include '{param}' (without the quotes) to insert the text between the opening and closing BB code tags, and '{option}' for the parameter within the BB code tag. You can only use {option} if 'Use Option' is set to yes.
e.g. you would use <b>{param}</b> for tags, <a href="{option}">{param}</a> for [url=xxx] . You will always use '{param}', but you will only use '{option}' when "Use Option?" is "yes". Note that '{relpath}' can be used in replacement code to signify the path of the current page. e.g. <a href="{relpath}#{option}">{param}</a>

Example: This is a sample piece of BB code to use as an example for this particular BB code.
e.g. you would use Bold for [b] tags, Example Web Site for [url] tags

Description: This is a piece of text to describe the BB code tag. This can include HTML tags if you wish.

Use Option: Setting this option to yes will allow you to create a [tag=option][/tag] style tag, rather than just a [tag][/tag] style tag.

Okay. But that’s discriminatory. Spoilers should be accessible to all.

You are using the default vBulletin theme. It's in a gray box in the SO default theme.

I could try changing the background color, but I don't know if it would help viewing it on an iPad. The usage isn't very prevalent as opus mentioned. It's probably not worth the effort to try to edit it if he's not able to highlight text.
