i use it and works great, a demo if it is here

its nice, when there are alot of posts on a page and you need to point something out, all you do is copy the link

nice, but when you click the post link the post is at the bottom of the screen. I would prefer the top of the screen.

I normally don't add any hacks if it changes any templates, but I'll think about this one and others suggested to me lately.

what does this hack do? I don't see much difference.

Peo meant that when you click the link, the link for the post is displayed at the bottom, he wants it at the top so it's easier to be read.

Virtually useless. All you have to do is scroll down. It'll be better if it acts like a favourite post or something.

I don't see that the link is displayed anywhere else than in the address field and the status bar.
The post is displayed at the top but it seems like it takes two clicks sometimes. It's just an usual anchor after all.

it doesnt create a new posts, it just tells teh number of the post and a url to it

**meow** · May 9th, 2002, 02:53

Who says it creates new posts?

I say the post it links to is displayed at the top as it always is with a #name but something in the sample page makes it necessary to click twice sometimes.

No, I'd say this anchor does nothing.

If you view source for this page you'll see this just before your name to the left in the post you just made.
<a name=post253866>

That's what it links to:

We use it all the time here too. It would be handy if one didn't have to look for it though.
