vBulletin url trick

[X FLY]

Have you lost an old thread and only remember the thread ID?

Use this url to view any thread using only the threads ID: http://laserpointerforums.com/(board code)/--(thread ID).html

for example: http://laserpointerforums.com/f57/--55750.html

How is this a trick at all? What are the chances that you remember the thread ID and not title? This is just how VB identifies threads....

OK, I see now, the -- is a wildcard for the thread title. I suppose this is a bit of a trick-maybe there's a hack to be has here! :na:

The URL is friendly for search engines.
It does not matter what it says, except the thread ID.
