Permalinks?

[The Minigolf Master]

Well, now I'm seeing things by the report-a-post button, it says "Permalink". Since when is it here and what is it?

[JaMan51]

I just saw it, too, and I was about to post the same. I'm clueless just like you. I think they would've just put it on this morning, not sure why though.

Well, i was playing around with it and think i know what it is.

You know how sometimes you want to show someone a post on a different thread? You give them the link, and they have the literally search for the post you are talking about. If you press the "permalink" it changes the URL in your address bar. So, if you copy and paste that to a different thread, and the person clicks it, it will take them directly to that post on the other thread so they don't have to scroll through and search for the post they are looking for.

Correct. This is a new function as of vBSEO. You can look in the footer and see that TTC now has vBSEO 3.2 RC5

Nice new feature.

Ok this is probably a really dumb question.. but you know that number that's like across from your user name when you post like for example it says #4(permalink). What does that number mean? Is it bad.. or what?... lol

Omg lol. Nvm. I'm REALLY special. Figured out what it is. sorry.

[Me Me Me Me]

the number? its the number of the posts have been in thread i'm 2nd to post thats why i'm number 2

[SkinnySkidsSnorkelfish]

The #3 where you say so means that you are the third poster in the thread...but if you post later, a new number comes.

For example, you are the thread-maker, a.k.a., post number one.

Okay, says #4, well.
It's because I am the forth poster, now say if someone post after me, they will be the fifth. Then if I post again after them, I will be the sixth, it is just what number of post it is since the first post.

[Big Flip]

It tells what number that post is on the thread.

We're testing out some new software on the forums. You may find a few minor adjustments to things. Nothing really to worry about as it shouldn't effect much.
