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

that should not happen.

be sure you are NOT logged in as a moderator, because a plain vb3.5 shows hidden posts automatically to admins/mods but not to normal users WITHOUT having to install anything from my hack.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
