A quick lesson in the forum for people relating to the post numbers:

The last page of the match thread currently gives you an address of:

http://www.heroesandvillains.info/forumv3/index.php?topic=50336.1290

The important bit of the URL is the very end, which is highlighted in red.

I've put the thread id in italics, that's specific to the thread.

I've put the post id in bold - that effectively tells it which page to go to.

therefore to use the 993 that is in the title:

http://www.heroesandvillains.info/forumv3/index.php?topic=50336.993

tada!

Now that I know this, I love the all in one thread idea.


Perhaps the thread starter could modify the 1st post in the thread with hyperlinks to the various post replies. i.e. "Match thread starts HERE" "Post Match discussion start HERE" etc.


EDIT - Just seen legion had already done what I suggested, although slightly more ambiguously.

I wonder can the requisite post numbers in the thread title be underlined too? Probably not as the entire thread title is underlined as it is when you hover over it.

Let me be the first to say, on the basis of its role in our win at the Arsenal, the 'all in one' match threads should be kept.

It was worth a go but I really dislike them. They were implemented to try and tidy up the place but it's made things much less organised. Just seems to make more sense to return to the old system.

I tend to agree with that although its early days yet for the new system .

I've changed my mind. Keep the all in ones.

I think you should delete the match talk after the game (between 3-4.45) and leave post for post match analyse. Just to save bandwidth.

In the original post (see Arsenal thread) there are two links. One takes you to just before kick-off the other takes you to full-time.

Totally unrealistic proposition. It would take ages.

Are you going to post the links at the beginning of the thread every game? It's a lot of commitment to do every game.

In my opinion though, you have made one of the best parts of the forum a lot more complicated.

When I'm out and about, I don't have my glasses with me all the time, so by the time I've faffed on with finding the post match part on my phone, I can't see. (Glasses wearers will understand)

Please reconsider this

It's all we ask!
Didn't realise there were links to the relevant parts mind, that does help.

I tend to dip in for a quick look at the post match thread and then, if I have time, look at it more fully the next day. Anythin that makes that more of a faff is going to deter me so I'll just go straight to the end. I suspect I won't be alone in that so we'll have the same point made multiple times and a less joined up discussion.

Looks like that it's going to be put down as a pre-season experiment which didn't work as well as we'd hoped, so back to the old way from now on.
