XF 2.2 Is there a way to find the XX,XXXth post on the forum?

[ForumFan]

So, if I wanted to find who posted the 30,000th post, for example, (for purposes of celebration / accolades)... is there a way to do that?

Thanks!

Can't you just go to

https://site.com/threads/post.30000/

Site.com/posts/30000 would work but won't take into account deleted posts and posts in private forums - literally the 30,000th post irrespective of where it is and if any were deleted beforehand.

LoL, I just tried this way and found the 30000 post, but no 70000 or 100000 or 50000 while there are 248000 posts.

That's giving me an error anyway.

Try other numbers - it's possible your 30,000th post is deleted.

Funny... I tried it again... and it worked. Only problem is... the 30,000th post was ME! LOL!

Yez, you win

When I try it, if it doesn't generate the not found error, then it's always the first post in a thread, regardless of which number I use, which is odd.

You might have to scroll down the page for the actual 30,000th. Think youd have to trial and error with the post permalinks to find it

How would I know when I see it though?

Oh and if only my forum had 30000 posts! It's got about 9000 now.

How long has your forum been online? 9,000 ain't nothin' to sneeze at.

Thanks, it's actually increased by a whole three posts, at 9002, as I write this.

It started in June 2021 on a different domain and a different purpose as a partnership with a friend. When that partnership stopped, I turned it into NerdZone in December 2021 and it's been going like this ever since. Most of the posts were created since then.

It takes TIME and ENERGY. I've poured a tremendous amount of energy into my forum. My stats at 16 months:


In the realm of big forums, it's not much. But it's a good start. And... it's a marathon, not a sprint.

You're doing a lot better than me, well done.
