I think I'm missing something. The comments that appear as if they should contain the answers contain nothing. Have the answers been removed? Does Reddit's [spoiler] tag do fun javascript-y things that don't work on IE8? Or am I so obtuse and unobservant that I'm missing something obvious?

Click and drag over the text with your mouse and you should be able to see it.

  That was the first thing I tried. It doesn't work for me in Chromium 12

    Strange. I'm running Chrome 12 on OS X and I have no issue (although the contrast is very poor).

      Really? I tried to set up the CSS so it would be white on black. What colors do you actually get?

        All of the spoiler CSS (Reddit-wide) broke for me a few Chromes ago. Running 14.0.797.0 now on OS X.

    Me either. But if you double click on the block it will highlight the text.

You simply highlight the blocked text to reveal it. The text is the same color as the background.

  That was the first thing I tried, to no avail. I was able to see his response by going to his profile and hovering over the word "spoiler" in his comment stream. The word "spoiler" doesn't appear for me in the threaded comments and clicking through the word "spoiler" results in a 404. Very strange.

    That has to do with how spoiler tags are set up on that subreddit: the actual spoiler content is in the title attribute of the link and the href points to /s. The CSS for the subreddit uses an attribute selector to find links pointing to /s and styles them appropriately. If you view the posts outside of the context of the subreddit, there's no special CSS, so the link appears normally with some title text that appears on hover.

Yeah, it wasn't working on my Android phone either. Had to wait to get into work and try it with Chrome.
