The code for IFX v4 is done and will be released soon. here are the new features for v4.

  • buttons under normal buttons
  • Fully intergrated into the original buttons system
  • 3 new tags allowing users to show text to registered users, Global moderators, or admins

I don't understand the third feature. :/

I think it means that the text is only visible to a certain usergroup. Say a member wanted to say something to an admin only for some reason (why not PM?) then they could use a tag and only the admin would see that particular bit.

Hmm.
Couldn't you just quote the post and view it in the quote box though? :/

Indeed you could probably :) Hence for something only an admin should see, use the PM system.

You make good arguments but the main reason for putting those features in is mainly because it's a stepping stone for another code I have to work with this one to make it so you can make your own Hide tags for certain groups in a forum. it's just that right now it's easier to do those 3 (besides I didn't think it was a bad idea at the time :( ).

Yeah, but PMs still sound easier.

Sounds lke a cool code but yes, pm's do sound easier to use.

Well, what if you wanted to show it only to the regular members group but not the elite members group?
Or the other way around?
Or just to the members and not the global mods, since that's what one of the current options seems to be.
It would be easier than PM'ing all those members.

But not if you can just use the quote feature to see the tags and everything they were hiding. :/
It's an interesting idea, but I'm not sure you could ever make it work properly and the best thing would probably be to use a limited access forum instead of either that or PM's. :unsure:

Sorry I took so long to answer this but to answer your question, I felt that higher level members should have the power to see things. for Administrative purposes.
