Hidden Messages in Posts v1 [CB]

[Ross]

What it does is allows you to use [hide]Message[/hide] tags in your posts that will hide that text from any member/guest until they reply to that thread.

However, there are some downsides. The main one being that the information being displayed isn't permanent. That is, when the user clears their cookies or their cookies get full, the message will become hidden again. Other than that, I believe I have got rid of the remaining bugs, at the expense of needing two sections, one for the Header and one for the Footer.

So, here's the actual code. You can edit any of the blue to change the style of the box around the hidden message. The red is the text that will appear in place of the message when it is hidden. If you want to use a ' apostrophe in this message, put a \ backslash before it. The green are the usernames of special users allowed to view all hidden messages, each separated with a '|' line. Put it in the Global Header/Footer Or Board Header/Footers to only affect certain boards (recommended)

Header

<style type="text/css">
.unhid
 {
   border-width: 1px;
   border-style: solid;
   border-color: #000000;
   width: 90%;
 }
.hid
 {
   border-width: 1px;
   border-style: solid;
   border-color: #000000;
   width: 90%;
   text-align: center;
   font-weight: bold;
 }
#threadListing
 {
   display: none;
 }
</style>
