Website Upgrade Incoming - we're working on a new look (and speed!) standby while we finalise the project

Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

  • Post ID/comment number is not fixed but every time a new post is creater the number 1 is re-assigned to last entry.
  • This makes it hard/impossible to make reference to a prior post using a simple ID number.
  • It wold be better if the post number at the top right is assigned in order of creation and never changed.

This is something I have asked before but no action was ever taken, is there any reason why PP does not consider it an improvement?

A new comment is added and the comment is re-numbered, this is not a good idea.

Just increase by +1 last comment number.
