Description

Hi Ray - can you please let me know how the "hide" feature for forum posts work? I'm the admin of a group and I'm trying to decide whether to hide or delete a post. wondering whether "hide" hides for all users or just me

Scott, if you could document this after we get an answer, I would appreciate it

The Hide feature hides the post from view for regular group members. It is only visible to group admins and moderators.

FYI -- after clicking "hide" on the post from the post page (rather than the list of posts), I received the following message, which seems a bit weird given that there are indeed posts in the forum

Hi Matt,

Can you outline the steps you did to hide the forum post? I'm trying to replicate the issue where you see the "No one in the group has posted a topic yet" message after hiding a forum post, but am not able to. I tried hiding both an entire forum topic and a singular forum post.
