To be honest, I personally find this rather cumbersome. Previously, if I wanted to find the link to a post, I could click the "page button", then copy immediately from the adress bar. If I wanted to see a particular post in context (as troll mentions), I could click the page button and would be taken there.Mr. Flay wrote:Cool. I made some formatting changes today, to wit moving the 'page' icon back to the left edge, stripping the 'author' field (since you can already see it 2" to the left), and most importantly, changing the way 'post links' work. The page icon now gives you a popup window (if you've enabled JavaScript) with the link in cleartext; the post number will always link you directly to that post. Hopefully that'll be more usable for people; as always, let me know of problems.
With the current setup, I have to actually copy/paste the link if I want to see a post in context. Getting the direct link didn't become easier (it's still a matter of copying from the bar that shows up). Furthermore, because I don't want to automatically enable javascript, I have to actually give my browser permission.
What previously took a single click (going from ISO to seeing a page in context), now takes four clicks and a copy paste (click on icon, 2 clicks to give browser permission, click on icon again, copy link to adress bar). What previously took a single click and a copy (getting the link to the actual post), now takes four clicks and a copy.
