Thanks / Hidden Contents

[AVB]

Dear all,

We have now implemented another feature for the forum.

Members can now "Thank" members posts.

The main reason for this "Thanks" button, is that you can now hide contents in your thread/posts so other members will have to thank your thread/posts to be able to view the hidden content.

If you want to view the hidden content after clicking on the "Thanks" button, you will need to reload the page for it to unlock the contents.

To create a hidden content, you can either click on the key icon, in the advanced WYSIWYG editor, which looks like this: or you can insert the BBCODE manually by using the following set of tags:

[HIDE] [/HIDE]

Example of hidden content which can only be viewed by clicking on the "Thanks" button located at the bottom of the post.

Let me know in here if you ever experience any problems with it.
Thanks.

This is good. Good to see new features being added now and then.
So what do we use this hidden content feature for?

The thanks button is a good idea.

Sometimes you might want to add exclusive information, so only members who like the post can view the contents. It is a good way to prevent non-members viewing it. I will most likely use this feature.

But, we don't give any secret information in our posts. So, why does it matters whether guests views it or not?

We don't just give out secret information, we can add content so that only members can view them e.g. links to streams maybe, you get the idea
