That's a link from thread #72 if you click the commments link: "Comments (2)"

Downloads back online thread #76 is also a 404 for me.

There were others but I can't remember where right now.

You would have to find your own javascript for show/hide of comments. This not possible with vBulletin's vbcollapse feature since each comment uses a new table. You should then edit your SHOWNEWS template to include the changes you want.

Actually I was more thinking of a different page (maybe the same url followed by /comments ). I use vbseo so all my urls are, well, seo'd. I can figure this one out I guess, but how about simply using a type of show/hide on the main page? Where the default (or defined) amount of preview words are shown and then a link for (full story) which opens the rest of the story on the same page (javascript or ajax) instead of taking you to the thread page with comments? That would be wicked!!

As for the [preview] tags eating unsupported preview text, the tags never disappear for me when I try to edit, even with text between. This may be because you are using the WYSIWYG editor, in which case you should not be able to modify any BB-code after submission. Switch to the Standard editor and you should see it again.

As for the practical use of the [preview] tag, I will change the name to [previewlength] for the next update, and add a [more] tag which will encapsulate the text that hides on preview for the next update. How's that?

That sounds great! The "more" text could be shown when people click a "more" link from the main news page like I described above, right? Or would it just take you to the thread?
