Its working on new default skin 4.5. But... it is not with our own skins from 4.4 :) So now we must have this 2 plugins, just for one small option to have post numbers on every theme :) Can anyone please make one plugin that supports 4.5 and older one? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All Astronauts Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Y'all know post numbering was included by request into Kitchen Sink. Someone asked for a few weeks ago.

Granted, it may be something most forums don't need but coming from MyBB, my members are used to it and having a hard time adjusting to not having them. Same here. I agree BankFodder 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randy Calvert Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 (edited) 11 hours ago, Gabriel Torres said: Yes, it still works.., 🙂 And definitely should be incorporated in IPS. It was intentionally removed at one point. It existed I think back in the late 3.X days and then removed in one of the major point updates. So I would not expect it to be added in core.

AlexWebsites Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 The feature exists with xenforo, which is why it comes up on my end. Members use multiple sites and compare. There are some top niche sites that use xenforo, more so I see than vbulletin these days. Nevertheless, both those competing platforms have the feature. Not saying its a must to be built in, just saying that some things are needed when competing and it's good we can do it with a plugin for now 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Square Wheels Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 On 9/10/2020 at 2:11 PM, Matt said: We removed post numbers about 5 years ago and although we get the odd request here and there, it’s not something that is raised very often. That's partly because we've learned that once a feature is gone, it's gone. 🙂 For instance, the next post link was really important to me. I only view my site using the undread stream, then click through the unread title at the bottom. I like to watch the Tour de France this time of the year. I am usually behind a few days and don't want previous stages spoiled. It was nice to see the post's title before clicking on it. I just don't visit one of my sites for weeks because there are often spoilers. That's my use case, I pleaded it when that feature was removed.

That took years though. I do tend to agree with them about the post numbers, if posts get deleted then that number you may have referred to will likely not be the same.

BankFodder Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Strange because when the numbering system was removed we notice no difference in performance. Now that we have a little plugin or hack which has restored it, we also notice no difference in performance but a considerable difference in customer satisfaction . It should be a matter of choice as to whether or not your customers have this kind of facility . Customers should be able to switch it on or switch it off. Presumably if it is switched off then you will get all of the performance enhancement which you tell us there is as well as being able to focus on content. Those of us who want the numbering system can choose to have it and presumably we'll have to put up with the lousy performance and a user interaction which will constantly be distracted by the appearance of small numbers in one corner of each post. I think some of us can live with that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
