I know there's a text-only "mobile" version, but for the life of me I can't remember how to manipulate the URL to get to it. It's not a normally-selectable theme.

You could use the suggestion forum to suggest a "low res" skin as an option.
I've turned off signatures and images, then added the following AdBlock Plus rules:
Code:
That removes the annoying gradients that make the text harder to read and blocks the background image and the logo at the top of the page.http://boards.cityofheroes.com/styles/coh/gradients/* http://boards.cityofheroes.com/styles/coh/misc/background.jpg http://boards.cityofheroes.com/styles/coh/misc/logo.png
Turning off images and signatures has the side benefit of making the forum more browsable on my phone as well (using Opera Mini on a SE c902)

That being said, you can always go the lowtech option like I did... use the privacy film on your monitor so only you can really see clearly. You should have plenty of time to shut down any offensive websites before prying eyes look too closely heh.
If you use Firefox at work, you can use a plugin called Stylish, which allows you to change the way the forum looks.
Zombie_Man made a couple new skins which do exactly what you want. I love them:

Create an elaborate word-switchout system that replaces CoX and game-related terms with work-related terms.
Reminds me of that fake 404 error page that states "YOUR BOSS IS COMMING! RUN" if you read it.
Orc&Pie No.53230 There is an orc, and somehow, he got a pie. And you are hungry.

If I am stuck with Internet explorer due to company policy, what can I do? Seems all the suggestions were dependent on Firefox

Ie 8
Someone smarter than me might be able to answer this better, but can't you block the background/title images directly from the Hosts file?

IE 8? My sympathies.
CTRL+Shift+F should get you the InPrivate Filters which will allow you to configure ad blocking. Then you should be able to just add the pathway to the images you want to block.
Any ideas how to get the same result on Safari for the iPhone?
