Ken, One thing that bothers me on the new site is the "thread number". In most forums I participate in the numbers on the thread start with 1 and continue incrementing by 1 for the number of messages in the thread. Here it looks like the number displayed is the number of the message for the forum. In the message I tried to quote above we see #1139 where it is actually the third message in the thread.

Is this something under your control and could you change it?

No big deal I guess either way it just throws me when I click on the new messages and it shows such large numbers...

Keith,

That is not something under my (our) control. The message # is the key to the post and I agree it seems to by site wide.

As always I will keep this in mind as I manage the site to look for a configuration option and will look for that as updates come down the line.

Thanks for the feedback.

I agree with Kwire. Most, if not all, other forums number the posts in the thread. To me that is a lot more valuable than numbering of the whole forum.

Wow, I think I actually found the configuration option. How cool is that!

Reply Numbering Inside Topic Choose how messages will be numbered inside topic. You can show the post IDs ( #324, #465, #768... ) or incremental numbers (#1, #2, #3...)

Yeee Haaa!!

Thanks Ken

Ken what a wonderful surprise. Thanks so much for that little "fix". Good work.

Way to go Ken. Thanks for finding and changing it. Much easier to see how many posts per thread.

My pleasure!
