Without URL's, the code is subject to harmful characters. For the record, this (template).. *Should* be a good format for all these solutions.: [hideif ||[url][raw][Comments1][/raw][/url]|^|[url][Comments1][/url]|] ______________________________________________ News ______________________________________________ [Comments1] [hideif ||[url][raw][Comments2][/raw][/url]|^|[url][Comments2][/url]|] [Comments2][/hideif] [hideif ||[url][raw][Comments3][/raw][/url]|^|[url][Comments3][/url]|] [Comments3][/hideif] [/hideif] It Adds "URL's" to protects the hideif comparisons from a false result. Note.. the Code above assumes that you want to hide the entire block if the value of [Comments1] equals blank, or if it equals raw [Comments1]. So, you don't need the second hideif statment for Comments1.. but I left the others in there (coments 1 and 2) in case those are passed over.. I don't know if they are needed (because I'm not sure how your system works), but they shouldn't cause any problems. Now, having said all that.. I wonder if 3.x had [url] issues of some kind. I use this kind of format frequently: [hideif ||[url][raw][Comments1][/raw][/url]|^|[url][Comments1][/url]|] However, if the [url]'s are producing extra spaces or any sort of wierd character in version 3.x.. it will not work. I have no idea if that is the case. So, if you think it may be the case, you can make your existing code cleaner by going from: [hideif [Comments1]=[raw][Comments1][/raw]][hideif [Comments1]=] To: [hideif [raw][Comments1][/raw]=[Comments1]][hideif =[Comments1]] by putting the operator before the comparison, it should avoid the operator confusion. We need to convince you to upgrade! ;-) Donovan -- Donovan D.
