Half a million

Nice...Is it traceable, who made that post?

I couldn't find a method of doing this and the SMF team indicated it wasn't possible with this version of SMF only in 2.x. So the only way it could be done is if someone took the time and hunted it down. I spent a lot of time trying to find it by scanning through the links on posts but below is the closest I could fine. It happened around that time, but where is what I can't seem to find.

Move the mouse over each of the links in either the board and/or thread. For example, in this thread move your mouse over Re: Half a million and you should see in your browser status bar the URL and what the .msg5xxxxx is corresponds to the number of the post.

Wow nice work Kpac!!

I've modified the post with a congratulation as well as modified cicas custom title to mention he/she being the 500,000th poster. Unfortunately hasn't logged back on to the forums since the 7th so may go un-noticed. Finally, also modified the first thread to also contain this information.

I see....Thanks, Nathan...should we hunt 100,000?

Excellent idea

If someone is up for the challenge sure why not. But I think that'd be a lot more difficult to locate then the 500,000th post since it happened so long ago. But if found I'll be happy to credit / reward the poster.

750,000?
