Do the post numbers after it change or remain the same?
Let’s say you have a thread with 10 posts, post number 3 is racial spam from a sock puppet and the mod decides to just delete it all together. Is post number 4 still post number 4 or is it now post number 3?
Wishing an individual post to the cornfield also results in renumbering. As a test, I wished away Frank’s first post in this thread (sorry man, this is science). The result: One lonely post in the cornfield; new post in line gets vanished post’s number.
not only that, but if you follow the link on my previous post, although your post is now #6, when you are seeing the individual post, it appears as #7.
OK, it looks like all of those links will show the post, and if there’s a number given on the end, it’ll display that number, no matter what it is. With nothing in that last part of the URL, or a non-number, the link isn’t there.
