[hide] hack

Adds [hide][/hide] code to your forum to hide the text until an user replied to the topic.

XML contains the product Hide Hack.

Install:
- Just use the products system in vbulletin.

Bugs:
Please report them in my PM or in topic if not so important.

Known bugs in B2:
- Only 1 hide tag per post.

hi
i got a problem with existing posts in my Board with hide hack implemented a few minutes ago

the existing threads, that contain the hide tag from vBulletin 3.0.7, would be readable without answering to the thread.
the hidden information is not in a "box" how it is at new posts.

please help quickly
thank you

PS: I user release candidate 1

edit:
if i reply to a thread with quick reply, than i must press f5 else the hidden text comes to show.

Plus, if I were you, I'd make it a mod of an existing hack, instead of a whole new one.

isnt this a copy of yours?

why sshould he change his i think you should change yours since he did his first for 3.50 first comes first serve you should of thought about that before he posted his and made a hack to do yours

Maybe this will give you a better idea of a good use for this.

At my site, Tech-Unity
The site is mostly for people studying for a Computer/Networking Certification

I am provided questions by a few well known companys, Transcender, Redmond Exams, StudyExam4Less.

I post questions once a week, around 8 to 10.
when people reply to the question with whatever they think the answer is, they put it in this hide hack.
The next person coming into the thread cannot see his answer until (s)he replies, basically keeping human curiousity (some may say cheating) down to a minimum. I also have the spoiler tag set up for people that want to give users a hint (but not the answer).

at the end of the week I post the correct answers.

Granted this isn't perfect because people could reply with anything, just to look at the other guys answer then edit there post to put the correct answer, but, I have to use an honor system at least.

Example

Anyway, I hope that gives you a better idea, as to why you would use this.
