Hidden questions

[Malabarba]

Hit "h" to hide a question.

Looks good except for a couple notes.

• list-questions will not work unless you are authenticated.
• Looking at Jonathon's answer to this question will yield the stack trace that follows. For some reason, "URL: %s, %s to visit" is resolving to nil. (?) Doesn't make any sense to me, but perhaps you've seen something like this before. It seems to only happen when displaying a link (as opposed to a link: www.example.com).

Hiding functionality works without a hitch.

I'm not sure the above is your fault (I don't think it is), but I'm putting it down as a reminder to myself to run the same test on master.

No, it looks like it's the url variable that's nil, when it should be a string.
I thought I had put all safeguards in place to avoid that. Obviously I missed something.

Let's open a separate issue for that though. It has nothing to do with this commit.

[Malabarba]

Fixed

[vermiculus]
