Post number in a thread

LouLong · Apr 17, 2004

Sorry if it has been asked (and answered to) before but I cannot find the number of a thread post anymore.

Have I overlooked it, is it in a different place ?
Has it disappeared and will it be back ?
I use it mostly in the C3C map directroy for direct links to post. Are these still valid ?

Thanks in advance for your answers...

Yes, the links will still work. Being able to see them was a feature that was added by a hack. It was lost when the server was upgraded. However, when you edit a post, you will see that the link on saving the edit still has the post ID in it-> hence, the links are still recognised, just a bit more difficult to acces..

Ah OK !

And thanks for an extremely quick answer !

Then I guess the "hacked" feature might return after upgrade to v3.

Actually, TF said that he'd try and get the hack back in this weekend, since it may be a while until the mythical 3.0 gets installed.

See this thread.

Another thing that disappeared is the text showing the amount of posted posts &threads in between the last & newest login...

Since we are not upgrading to vB 3.0 for a week or two, I've added the post number/ post direct link feature back.

Ooooooooooooooh, with an upgrade to.

Thanks TF

EDIT: DP. Why was I not redirected to my post after I hit the send reply button the first time? Instead I stay at the post reply screen. :rolleyes:

Oh, sure! Blame the software! It certainly wasn't you, was it?

I rather like the new way it is. Lets you know exactly how much is left. Some of those debate threads in OT can get long.

It wasn't me honest. I am not sure why I was not taken to my post. I clicked reply went back to talking with Wyrm on MSN, came back about 20 minutes later and saw I was still on the quick reply screen. So I clicked again. Only to discover that I had already posted. I hit the back button and took a screen shot.

Edit: Try not to post screenshots for unimportant things like that in the future. It's a waste of server space and unnecessary. Words are more than sufficient. All that screenshot shows is the text is still in the Quick Rply box. -- TF
