jaeitee Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 *yawns* @esquire to sum it up because post numbers aren't displayed.... you are "truly frightened" IPS now appears "ridiculous" due to removing post numbers anyone who disagrees with you lacks "experience" So open with hyperbole, insult the company that produces the software then belittle anyone that disagrees with your point of view and bury them with pointless paragraphs of text. Wonderful and constructive formula
Farcaster II Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Can someone just make an add-on for this so this can be over and done with.C'mon just do it!!!:P

Wonderful and constructive formula Everyone is a smart guy except when it comes to actually answering a question... So... what do communities do who have 10-15 years worth of content that makes reference to post numbers in topics/threads that have always been part of the basic, and visible IPS feature set? Yes, IPS appears ridiculous for removing this basic feature without even telling their customers. Just because you produce software doesn't mean you understand how your customers use it or problems they may have if you remove something conspicuous. And considering some of us build sites and they pay for the software, you'd think they'd want to help us help them selling and evangelizing the software. Pointless = legitimate points raised by many long time forum admins that go unread or ignored. Pointless = your cheerleading. Everyone knows about how long it took for the plugin and mod community here to even begin to show life. If IPS 4 needs to rely on third party development just to continue to get IPS 3 functionality, the room will empty even faster. Or if we start discussing what a site should use for an integrated CMS. So how about we dispense with the slick and get right down to brass tacks...
We are Borg Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 For people that can't understand this removing the numbers is only going to piss off people it would have been a 5 min job to make it an option. It's like the profile show or do not show all over again for many not an issue but for sites that deal with people below the age of 16 its going to be difficult to upgrade.
meetdilip Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 I don't know. But I am not able to find any way to share a particular post, yet. I was so used to clicking on post no. to get the post link.

meetdilip Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 It's in the same place it's always been. In that case, we have just found a bug. Ubuntu 14.10 , Firefox 36.0.
jackflash Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 It's in the same place it's always been. @Ryan How will splitting posts off a topic occur?
Ryan Ashbrook Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 @Ryan How will splitting posts off a topic occur? I'm not sure what you mean? You can split off posts using the checkboxes there (if you have moderator permission to do so), check the box and a Moderation Panel will appear allowing you to split them.

Mike Gholson Posted April 14, 2016 Posted April 14, 2016 Losing the post # was a very early complaint for my users when we moved from IPB 3 to 4. We have a technical car website and they refer to post numbers all the time. Is there an add on to enable this yet?
