Hide link tag not working [Solved] Empty Hide link tag not working [Solved]

Post by redangel September 23rd 2013, 9:13 pm

Hi
When we use the 'hide' tag on a link so that members have to reply to see link, it doesn't appear to be working.  Everyone can still see it inside a 'white box'.

Is there something we should be doing in admin to make this happen?

Thanks in advance.

have you tried making a guest account with no posts to see if it worked? i had the same problem in the beginning but when i made a  test account it was actually hidden

EDIT is this the code you are using
Code:
[hide][code]reply to view[/code][/hide]

we tested it with a new account but it could still be seen

Do you mean a link like this www.help.forumotion.com ?  If so, then you just need to add it this way:
Code:
[hide]www.help.forumotion.com[/hide]

Reddwolf is correct - isn't working - the links are not hidden - everyone can see them


Still having problems - if we use the code 'reply to see' code, where does this fit between the 'hide'  'hide' - before the link or after?


I think i may be in a little bit over my head here as I'm not very technical

you dont need the reply to see bit i simply copied that off an old test post when i was having trouble with it.

all you need is the
Code:
[hide][code]INSERT TEXT HERE[/code][/hide]
tags then put whatever youre hiding where is says insert text here

ok - so one last question lol - if I open a phantom account to check the link, will it still show me the link as an admin because I am sharing the same IP address - do I need to get a member to actually check it for me?
