I'm back - How do I hide a reply?

Hello Everyone!

I'm back! Will try to be a bit more frequent here.
One question: How do I hide a reply? I wanna answer one of Ganesh's questions. xD

I hope everyone's safe and well.

Why hide a reply? Why so mysterious?

See posts #1 and #2.

David wanted to know and I tried to help him regarding hide tags.

Nothing mysterious.

Are you serious? Why not ask how to upload pictures to the forums here? I myself would like to learn how to do this, honestly.

I'm sure Ganesh has already explained about that. Why don't you google and find an image hosting service?
If I remember correctly, you embed images with the

[img]

tag.

Sign up on imgur and once you upload an image, to embed look for the BBcode.
sample here:

I recommend the site "postimage" instead. Less of nouveau-web math and clutter, and it loads faster.

Again, it is not necessary to sign up for postimage if you just want to post a picture.
Click "choose image" here:

After submitting an image, you will be led to a page containg links of the image.

Then copy and paste the "Direct Link" URL here:
[img]DIRECTLINK[/img]

You can also click on 'Quote' in the bottom right-hand corner of someone's post to help learn how they did this or that.

More stuff:

If you're logged in, you'll have a 'BBCode' button near the bottom-left corner of the screen. Click on it to open a page with codes for:
- Text Styles
- Links and images
- Quotes
- Code
- Lists
- Smilies

A small 'Nested tags' section shows how to use codes within codes (eg, to display an image hidden by 'hide' tags...as I've done below).

Here is a link to that page: BBCode

And if you click on 'Quote' in the bottom right-hand corner of my post you'll get a good idea about how I did what I did. :dizzy

Re: I'm back - How do I hide a reply?

Hi mathland,

I was messing around with the 'Image of BBCode page' and changed the url, not realising that it would disable the link in your last post.

So if you particularly want to see the image version of that page, you'll now have to click on the link in my post instead of yours.

Sorry 'bout that, but I can't undo what I've done!

Don't worry about it. It's ok.
