i didn't get you completely.. do you want a small icon near threadtitle in forumdisplay (threadlist) to state whether the thread used HIDE tag or not.

[Nirjonadda]

Not something like that. Actually admins/staffs are not bound on hide codes. They can view every post as it is not hidden.
If there was an indication in each post whether it uses hide tag or not. They can check it going to EDIT mode, but there is no way to learn whether the particular post is hidden or not for the general members.

ok, in next release (Gold) will add indication. (maybe a unhide image)
btw, in current version you can add indication for [HR], [HT], [HRT], [H] tags by editing their respective templates.

[HR] - vfc_hide_hack_bbcode_reply
[HT] - vfc_hide_hack_bbcode_thanks
[HRT] - vfc_hide_hack_bbcode_replythanks

Open anyof these templates, and

find:

{vb:raw message}

Replace with

Unhidden Content:
<div>{vb:raw message}</div>

Version 2.0 (RC) Added
Changes: Optimized Codes and fixed a minor bug.
