Note the distinction between a hidden item and a soft-deleted item. A soft-deleted item is not accessible even if you know its URL.

Since hidden topics/forums aren't displayed in forums or search results, you'll have to go to a special place to find a list of them to edit. Go to Admin Panel -> Common Tasks -> Search and see the "Hidden Items" options at the very top.]]>
Aliases / Secondary Forums As used in WSN. https://scripts.webmastersite.net/wsnforum/manual/introductory-topics/glossary-of-terms/aliases-secondary-forums-139.html Mon, 08 Dec 2003 01:37:57 GMT https://scripts.webmastersite.net/wsnforum/manual/introductory-topics/glossary-of-terms/aliases-secondary-forums-139.html
The advantage of using alias instead of copy/resubmit is that when you edit the topic you will always be editing the original topic and all appearances of that topic will instantly be updated with the new information. (If you had merely copied the topic, you would have to edit each separate instance in each forum.) Also if the topic is suspended or deleted all references of that topic will be removed from the links directory.

To add or remove aliases, edit the topic or forum and see the secondary forums area. Ctrl+click to de-select.]]>
Reciprocal Link A link to your site placed on the submitters site for the purpose of traffic exchange. https://scripts.webmastersite.net/wsnforum/manual/introductory-topics/glossary-of-terms/reciprocal-link-114.html Sun, 23 Nov 2003 23:07:40 GMT https://scripts.webmastersite.net/wsnforum/manual/introductory-topics/glossary-of-terms/reciprocal-link-114.html
Exchanging links helps both webmasters by increasing their link popularity, which is important for traffic and search engine placement.]]>
