What's with all the post numbers on the mobile site?

Hmm? Don't think you can sneak it in without our noticing

I noticed that too

So did I. Can't really see the point - I can see how many posts there are in total at the top of the thread - I don't need to have a running total as well.

Noooo! Don't like it! It'll be html mark up and posts in red next (or whatever else dollybarb was looking for in the whinge thread about not being able to edit posts)

I noticed that too. The numbers are quite large and distracting (on the mobile page anyway).

Yes, hmm, it's distracting and doesn't look great either. Is it intentional?

Make it go away make it go away! (Please)

This is new isn't it? I thought, as per, that I'd simply never noticed it before.

I can see it being used a lot in AIBU
"actually randomName you did say that, post number 57, but it has been deleted due to you being a rude arse"

They've gone?

Ooh. They've gone again. Thanks
