Sorry if this was announced somewhere already, but I haven't been able to find any talk about it...
Noticed that all comments on images now have numbers associated with them along with the date stamp - e.g. 01/29/2010 06:28:57 AM · #10. They seem to run consecutively from top to bottom (i.e., does not seem to indicate, say, order in which the comments were made) and if click on the number it takes you to a page with the note "Access Denied You do not have access to read this thread.". For the life of me I can't figure out what the purpose of these numbers are. Is this a "feature", a bug, a secret code?
Anyway, that's my puzzle for today. Theories - grounded or off-planet - are welcome. |

...so if I want to be #1 I should just continually leave comments on images so mine is always the latest comment. But is being #1 (doubleplus)good or bad?
I am not a number, I am a human being! |

| It was meant to be for the forums, so it's easier to link to a particular post. It's been hidden from comments, as it's not very useful there. |

It looks like in the forums you can link directly to a post now (or reference it by number). They are also numbered in chronological order there. In other words, it seems to make sense and be useful in a forum thread, but make no sense and be useless in the comment thread on an image. :)
ETA: Well, I think that's the first time  Langdon beat me to it! Good times. Thanks for the new functionality, boss.

but this could be really nasty if people are viewing it in different ways. For instance, if you're viewing it oldest to newest, the oldest is #1, if you reverse it, the numbers get reversed.
So I could refer to #2, and for me, it is freakin_hilarious's post. but for krnodil it might be glad2badad's post. That could cause for some misunderstandings. |

I'm there. Totally confused now LOL. I noticed the post numbers in the threads too, but didn't think about what they were for.

Except I have them in reverse order and it shows your as number 1 :) Which has clearly been discussed further down the page!

Ahahaaaa. I submitted a request for this feature yesterday. That's right, YESTERDAY.
And no, I did not make any (explicit) threats on Langdon's village. Thanks, Langdon. Your village is safe. :-) |

...actually I am still not seeing how the link to a specific post works.
This doesn't work:
//www.dpchallenge.com/forum.php?action=read&FORUM_THREAD_ID=967901#7
and this only works if there is less than a page of posts:
//www.dpchallenge.com/forum.php?action=read&FORUM_THREAD_ID=967901#5844883
and since "a page worth of posts" is relative to the user's preferences, you can't include a page number either.
Am I missing something?
The reason I requested it was to reference specific posts in old LONG threads without someone have to search through the whole thread. |

The magic is in the "action=jump" part of the URL. If you right-click on the number and select copy link, it will give a URL which will work regardless of pagination. This is the same type of link that is used by the arrows next to the forum threads on the front page.

Ahhh, that 'splains it. I didn't even realize it was a link. Thanks Terry & Thanks Langdon! |

Ok, so regardless of the user clicking the link, this:
//www.dpchallenge.com/forum.php?action=jump&FORUM_THREAD_ID=967901&FORUM_POST_ID=5845161
... should link to Art's post beginning with "...actually I am still not seeing how the link to a specific post works."
Right? |

Correct. This is useful for putting links in workshop images that were uploaded for specific posts to certain threads. As well as other things. |

In some browsers (e.g. AOL 9) the applicable right-click command is "copy shortcut" rather than "copy link." |
