Suggested entry for FAQ - thread and post ID


Hi,
Would it be possible to add to the FAQ a bit about how to get a URL with a post ID and with a thread ID? It is useful for cross-referencing. Maybe someone new, such as we were, would like to put some link in a BB code or so.

It could go like that:

How to get a thread ID?
Click on the thread name and read the URL from your browser. It should look like that:
http://forum.postcrossing.com/viewthread.php?tid=23456
The tid number in the end will be different for each thread.

How to get a post ID?
In the post click on the link that says posted on... This link will end with a date and time. Read the URL from your browser. It should look like that: http://forum.postcrossing.com/viewthread.php?tid=23456#pid1234567
The tid number is the thread ID while pid number gives direct reference to the post ID.

I think this could help to new users of the forum. Thank you!
