Can the "Posting #s" be reinstated?

[John_S_in_Penna]

With the March 2016 software upgrade,

one feature that was useful is no longer visible:

The numbering of each posting within a thread.

 

For example, in the past in long topics I have seen

people refer to so-and-so's comment on "Post #59."

Now, each posting isn't numbered, so those past

references have no meaning.

Those numbers were also helpful as mental bookmarks to

remember where a specific posting was in a long, long topic.

 

Can they be reinstated? 

[Peter Gariepy]

I'll look into it.

I agree, these are sorely missed, especially in long threads.

I also agree that the numbering of the Posts was most helpful.

 

Cheers,

Grog

On another thread titled "Forum Upgrade,"

user 60 Flat Top concurred:

 

'I just noticed that posts are no longer numbered in sequence. There have been a few times when I have referred to a previous post by number. Some of the strings get pretty long, might miss that feature.  Bernie"

 

I can't tell you which posting that was, because they aren't numbered!

Peter, have you found a way to reinstate the numbering?  

[MrEarl]

it would help the moderators also in referencing posts that are being moderated or are an issue. All that is available now is the date

better?

It's better but I'm not able to read it unless I hover right over it. I wonder if anyone will notice the change unless they see this post. Does it have to grayed out for some reason?

Looks good to me!

This blind mouse noticed it and came here to give thanks. Thanks Peter.

 

Ronnie I think you will notice several less significant text lines are grayed out in the newer software upgrades. I don't mind it as it helps my eyes concentrate on the more significant, if that make sense.

It being greyed out isn't really a problem once you know where to look for it. I thought when Peter said, "better?", that he was asking for input so I commented. I'm grateful that we have the numbers back no matter the color.

Yes, thank you for making that improvement, Peter.

Gray or black or blue or purple, those posting #'s are really helpful.
