How to number the threads ?

That will facilitate participants to go quickly to a particular topic...instead of searching all.

Thanks

Don't clearly understand you by number threads.. But, a thread does distinct from other threads by its ID. Take this thread for example, the number in the URL is its ID: 224607 in https://community.mybb.com/thread-224607.html or https://community.mybb.com/showthread.php?tid=224607. I think you just mean this number.

However, why don't you use the URL instead?

Good idea to refer by URL. But internally..if they are numbered from say 101....my students can remember that a particular topic is at thred 467.

Not sure what you mean either. what happens if a thread bumps - comes up to the top - does the number of the thread then change ?

Otherwise threads have numbers - the thread id - so try setting that as a prefix.

Well then, is it the number you're asking for in the example in my previous post?

Or do you mean a post ID? For post ID, you should get it from the post's link normally at upper right corner by, for example #3.

Thanks for the info. Yes. the thread are sequentially numbered in the URL.

I can refer them to my students.
