APPEND TO ORIGINAL POST mod

[BulletinNoob]

This is probably 2 or more in one modifications.

Here is an example.

I start a new thread/post and provide lots of information on lets say a current book. Then I click the button that says "HIDE" and in that HIDE i provide the publisher/sites that are currently providing access to that book. The user clicks THANK YOU and it will REVEAL the information. I know this is available already..... BUT

what I also want to do is allow other users to ADD LINKS, but NOT as replies... this can get kind of messy and users will have to look through all the replies. I am trying to keep each post basically 1 page if possible (there shouldn't be too many additions). SO I want it to add the links/another HIDE box APPENDED to the ORIGINAL post and along with it a thank for that user for posting another location the book can be bought.

Example

-ORIGINAL POST (push hide button, a window pops up to paste in information, pressing button adds content with the HIDE APPENDED, with the thank you button for that user who supplied the information). I think this is already being done.

-READER comes along and says "another site is available" and clicks a button kind of like EDIT but instead ADD LINK or something and it POPS up so the user can PASTE in the information and this HIDE BOX is also APPENDED to the ORIGINAL post with a thank you button from the READER/person giving the information.

This is so others who view it can click the THANK YOU from the poster or THANK YOU from the READER and it will only show the information from the USER you want.

Not sure if something like this is available already as a plug-in or if its available to code easily or not. Not even sure if the way VB is built if access to the original post is possible to append to from different users.

thank you for reading this LONG post and any information you have would be appreciated.

I'm not sure exactly what you are asking. There are hide hacks, as you know, and I think I've even seen some that work with the Thank You hack where you click Thank You and you can then see the text (or it might have been, then you can download the attachment, I can't remember). So, there are things similar to what you want, but probably not exactly like what you want. So, you will need to modify the code or hire someone to modify it for you.
