In summary, users have noticed that when replying to a post using the Quote button or Go Advanced option, the post numbers are not visible, making them difficult to reference. Some users have found workarounds, but they would appreciate a change to this feature.

When I reply to a post via the Quote button or the Go Advanced option, I cannot see the post numbers which seems to render them rather useless. Am I missing something here? Or do others have this problem too?

Thanks!

Yeah, it's really irritating. I have to open the thread in another window if I want to refer to anything.
