Thought this might help the members as mine seem to have problems so heres how this works

I'm sure a lot of you have had some sort of problems with the HIDE tags, they either don't work or won't let you view the hidden message. I've found the proper way to use them and how to reveal the hidden messages, so I wrote this short guide.

First, when making a new post/thread, please write your message (the words) before anything else. So if, say, you're uploading Photoshop CS2 you should write the application's description first.

Now after that you should write the [.hide] tag, then the [.code] tag, then the message and/or attachment you want hidden, then the [./code] tag, then the [./hide] tag. This last tag MUST be the last thing you write in your post, no more, no less. Also, for this to work properly you should NOT leave any spaces between the each of the tags or between the hidden message and the tags. Trust me, its better that way.

So, here's an example:

[.hide][.code]This is hidden![./code][./hide]

That should hide the message, and remember, the tags are used without the dots, the dots are just for example purposes!

Now, for the rest of the public to be able to actually view this hidden message you just posted they just have to do two (2) simple things. First they've got to reply to the post, and then they have got to reload/refresh the page on their browser of choice. After these steps, the message should magically appear before their eyes!

I hope this elevated your IQ, and that you learnt something!

all the best sirblack

Eh. Sorry, but you go into ignore list for a proctorial tone... :/
Why is everyone like that these days?

pm-ed you psionic

]Just wanted to say that i have tried the new 2.01 and i have found the same trouble as someone earlier. I am using 3.5.3 vb. The only thing that shows up is:
I searched in the templates and that comes up in:

BB Code Layout Templates
bbcode_hide
bbcode_hide_noaccess

I have re-checked and re-done the install a few times. I was wondering if you have any ideas on this.

Appreciate any help you can give.


ADDED: Problem Fixed:
(Thankyou to LionDen)

The code from here originally:

BB Code Layout Templates
bbcode_hide

seemed to be re-written by an old HIDE hack and with the new code in it, will not work with this one (only show 'Hide:'), i replaced the code in 'bbcode_hide' with:

Now it works fine. I placed this here as some had problems earlier and for anyone that has the same problem in the future. The 'bbcode_hide_noaccess' has nothing to do with this HIDE Hack, do as you please with it. Hope this helps you guys.

Thankyou to LionDen for the fix.

The extended version of the HIDE hack has been updated to fix bugs, PM for update.

if i were to buy the expanded version, would i be able to make the [hide-reply] just [hide] ?

Yes, although there is no point in doing so.

why not? oo, is there is a button that inserts it for u?

im getting the money together to buy this

Yes. there is a button for each tag.
