For long threads, it would be nice to have each post numbered so any reference to a thread can be very specific when informing others on what part of a thread to look at to get information without having to page through the entire thread.

Excellent suggestion.
I just submitted that suggestion to the Hoopla folks. They are the people who write the code that runs this forum.
It seems to me that scrolling down to the post in the thread that you want to reference and then copying the link from there will bring up that post when the link is used from your new post about it. I am pretty sure I have had this happen before? Or I think it will at least go to the page you were on when you copied the link?
Or maybe it's just my attempt at adjusting to the recent time change, I still feel like I have lost an hours sleep somewhere...???
I have seen that on other forums and it is useful.

You are correct. Here is the link to your post.
Permalink is the icon all the way to the left in any post.
Numbering still could be useful though.

Numbering posts is a great idea! Good call

Personally, I think this is an excellent idea. It it helps stop folks from coping an entire post, to simply type one sentence, then it has done its job.

Thanks, I didn't know about the Permalink, learn new something every day! Now I know how to repeat the process.
I also agree with everyone that numbering would be easier, I should have stated that above. Wasn't implying this way was the answer, just a way of doing similar. It's gotta be that missing hour...
