Get the Jump Hash

[cafeIKE]

It would be most useful to easily get the # for a post to refer directly to a specific post in a thread.

One can get the # for their own posts by a cumbersome method.

A button to copy the current post id and # jump to the clipboard would be super!

Ian-

Here's how I do it... hover your mouse over the post's Link icon () and use your browser's status bar to reveal the link URL. It will be something like:

http://www.home-barista.com/forum...z-t4031.html#43780

In the example above, the "t4031" above is the topic number... The last digits, in this case "43780" is the post number.

Too cumbersome?

Generally I recommend referring to the head of the topic instead of a particular post. The topic title above the thread links to the topic / page, and as Jeff points out, the little "paper" icon is for a particular post. I know, I know... the icon should be something like "hyperlink", but that's the standard phpBB implementation, and besides, such precision is entering power user territory.

FWIW, if I want to refer to a particular post, I use Firefox's "Copy Link Location" on the post's image (). Reminder for you helpful power users: Use the [url=...]descriptive text[/url] tags, not just plain URLs. The native search will find the descriptive text in the [url=...] tags, but doesn't parse URLs for keywords like Google does.

Thanks.

If the user right clicks the post Icon, chooses Copy 'Shortcut' for us IE Luddites, then Paste either from the Context Menu or Ctl-V for the keyboarding Power Users.

Thus links to the above post
