Didn't it create a showpost.php link before? I just noticed that the behaviour seems to have changed to link to the thread, with the anchor set to the post you want. Since that appears to be the default vbulletin behaviour, I assume it must the showpost.php link must have been a custom thing we had before the upgrade, unless my memory's just kaput and it was like this all along. If it indeed was the way I think it was, could we have it back? :)
I do not believe it was a custom hack. Can anyone verify how it used to work?
If we get Electroman back in a few years, he can..:) I remember he used it..:)

Maybe you can find some of his posts and see? :)
This feature has always used vBulletin defaults. We did nothing custom to it that I am aware of.
Brad!
I thought it was in the testing section he showed me, but I guess it was the other "testing" section...hint hint...
but looks like both is working for me..:)

I must have a bad memory then... I'm sure it opened just the post. Oh well, thanks anyway. :)
Maybe your thinking of the postcount parameter?

the link you posted is a link to showpost.php, it opens just that one post.

If I use the [post] tag, it makes a link to showthread.php, with the anchor set to the post you want, e.g.

What I thought it used to do was the former.

I really hope this works now..:)
Oh ok. I just usually copy the shortcut link from the postcount # link.
It did used to, you are not mad. I guess the default changed in one of the minor version updates to the VB software, i noticed the change soon after an upgrade in the summer of last year.Quote:
