Re: Searching a topic-reply number
Hmmmm....
Just a thought. Why 15? Much better 10 or 20.
Like using 10, the 888 post would be on page 89.
Using 15, some of us may have to use a calculator.
Although in this particular case a mathematical trick allows us to calculate it mentally as 900/15 = 60th page.

Re: Searching a topic-reply number
tbontob, are you tracing Fyron's past statments in the You-know-what thread? It's possible to have some great fun by quoting some of them and replacing 'Gore' with 'Fyron' right about now...

It is possibly 15 becuase 15 = 2^4 - 1; the forums do run on computers, and sometimes it is easier for the programmer if things get arranged around numbers that computers use naturally.

No, I haven't. 
But now that you mention it...

At the bottom of all Posts is a line of text, a part of which says "IP: Logged". If you position your mouse over this, you will get a line on the status bar, the end of which is the reply number (so reply number 200 is actually post number 201 in the thread). My browser is IE5, this may be different on other browsers.
