Creating an index table within a thread

Hi

I want to link various posts within my thread to an index table in the first post. Is there a way to do that ?

For reference, this is the thread I'm talking about

Such as these ...

Yes indeed, how do you get that post number at the end of each link?
Outings administrator
probably because of his moderator status, where one has to work with postings
but you can also get it from the source code of the thread
Is there an instruction somewhere how to see the source code for each post. I could link the table gradually to the posts in the thread because I know it’s eventually going to build to over 130 posts sooner or later

​Not sure if there's a more efficient way, but I remember asking for the same thing a while back, and this is the method I came up with that I'm happy to share:

I assume you use Chrome, so get that forum thread up, then click the three dots on the upper right of the browser and select "more tools", and then "Developer tools", and something like this should pop up:



Click on"Sources" up top and look for lines like this:
<div class="post_action"><a href="signaler.php?id=437316">
The six digit number is the post id number; for example your first post there's id is p437316, and a link to it would be: https://en.numista.com/forum/topic52655.html#p437316

Nice thread you have going there by the way, a lot of interesting bits of Indian history I never would have known about otherwise. <:D
Alternative to checking the source code (table row id attribute), click on "Quote" button of a post you're interested in. The URL will have something like "quote=437330" with your post number. Just add "p" at the beginning of it.
I used quote way described above to do my referee FAQ.

ah thanks, I think the quote way is the easiest probably

​ You are correct - the number is from when Quote is hovered over -
so the earlier reply of mine is 621230 from the end of what is shown lower left of the screen ...

Anyone can do it. :)
