Hi all,

Whenever I generate the link to share a single post i get a wrong post number.

For example, I want to share post number 55. I get a link as follows:

http://xxxxxxx.com/forum/xxxxxxxx/xxxxxxxxxxx?p=224#post224

i got post 224 instead of 55.

Has anybody faced this issue?

Thanks

The 224 is not the post number but the nodeid of the post as stored in the database. If a post in a thread is deleted, the post number displayed in the upper right of the succeeding posts changes but the nodeid does not. So obviously you can't rely on using the post number in the link to associate to a specific post.
