Hide tags button?

[LastPoet]

I see no harm in people troubleshooting other stuff. Unless this turns into an Android vs IOS flamewar. I've seen it happen, somewhere on the internets.

Seriously, CM, your hide tags are only a right click (or whatever is analogous on an iPad) away.

bbCodeinsert is your friend.

The code is dead simple: it's hide and /hide in brackets.

It's a bitch to type in hide tags on an iPad. You have to hit the special character menu button twice to even get to the screen where the square brackets keys are located, and to create the close tags you have to hit the special character button twice to get to the square brackets, then once again to go back to the other special characters menu for the forward slash.

Here's the procedure for doing it:

special character menu button > special character menu button > open square bracket > return to Keyboard screen > type HIDE > special character menu button > special character menu button > close square bracket

return to Keyboard screen > Type message you want hidden

special character menu button > special character menu button > open square bracket > special character menu button > forward slash > return to Keyboard screen > type HIDE > special character menu button > special character menu button > close square bracket

Consequently, when I'm on my iPad I avoid formatting like the plague. (I guess Ebola would be a more timely disease to avoid right now) :p

My sympathies. I didn't think about smart phone and pads. Buttons would help.
