Staff can Post hidden Posts · **Released**: 05-07-2004

If you have installed that Hack by Chen, you will already know what this Hack does.
If not i'll shortly explain: If you install this hack, your staff will be able to post hidden posts, which are just visible by other staffmembers. This can be usefull, if you are not sure, what to do with a thread, and want feedback by the other mods.

I have to say, that this is not an easy hack, so do not install it, if you are not familar with vB hacking, as i won't give much support.
I have put the basic instructions into the Installfile, which does everything needed.
The instructions in the advanced install file, are for those who have already installed this hack, and want to get some more features (like number of new hidden posts in the navbar and such things).

Have fun, we always have

hmm, ok Mac could be the real reason ^^

Yeah, that would be better on another thread or even more on vb.com

What :speechless:, so my thread idea isn't good enough for vB.org. I get the hint. I will take my thread and go where I am more appreciated. *takes ball and goes home to sulk*.

On a serious note: check out for the thread on Browser X Files at vB.com.

try to revert you templates and then reinstalling the hack.
also just install the plain version at first.

thnks Xenon for this hack I want to ask how can i hidd thread as well

thank you for helping me

Xenon · #**127** 09-26-2004, 09:46 PM

well theoretically the way would be quite similar, using the moderate threads feature like the moderate posts feature.

But actually i don't think it's worth to write such a hack, because private forums are easier for private threads

One more point. Is it possible to search for and display all hidden posts?

A mod just asked me as she was concerned that the facelift I have just given our forum would make these posts visible and wanted to be able to search for them to check. I said it shouldn't but thought that one might want to revisit hidden posts from time to time.

if you have the advanced pack installed, there is already the link for searching hidden posts. just remove the getnew part of the link and you'll get every hidden post

You're welcome

Yeah devilish is always the simplest and best way ^^
