In the thread where I had originally requested this, I received some feedback with concerns about search engines spidering too many duplicate URL's. (SEO optimization)

So I wound up making up my own code changes, you may want to implement them here for others as well...

Where you tell people to add:

&nbsp;(<strong><a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]p=$postid#post$postid" rel="nofollow">permalink</a></strong>)&nbsp;

you should instead tell people to add:

&nbsp;(<strong><a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]t=$thread[threadid]&amp;#post$postid" rel="nofollow">permalink</a></strong>)&nbsp;

Here is my origional thread for reference... https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=144018

I hope that helps!!

PS- You should also edit your original post to tell people to edit BOTH postbit AND postbit_legacy. (Just my $0.02 cents)

Hmmmmm... it seemed like this kinda worked for me but most of the time when you clicked the permalink it would take you to the first post in the thread.

Sometimes you have to wait a sec to give it a chance to fully load the page, before it will auto-scroll to the right post number. Try that?

True, I noticed that.

However, if the permalink is clicked on page 200 of a thread why would it go to page #1, post#1?

It's funny because the hack seemed to work for me the first couple times when I tried it on threads with only a couple pages.

Also.... it's funny because I still run one vBulletin that is really old, (2.3.4) and it seems to have this feature built in (I can't remember hacking it). Anyway, I love this feature I hope I can make it work on my 3.6.5.

Wierd, i've not tried it yet on my (rather large) live board, so it is entirely possible that
it gets confused when there are too many pages of threads. However, as I am still relatively new to vBulletin, i'm not quite sure how to fix that.

I will keep trying, in the meantime, maybe someone more experienced can figure it out?

Don't rule out the possibility of user-error (I may have done something wrong.)
