Add thread title to post tag

This is pretty useful:

but, I'm not very good at remembering which thread is which by the numbers :) I often know what is being referred to if I see the thread title. So, would it be possible to have this output the title of the thread next to the link?

E.g.,

Please see the forum thread: http://gammon.com.au/forum/?id=10067 (MUSHclient: Lua: Nested Tables)


This saves me from having to go see the thread if I knew what it is from the title.

It's a nice idea, but the problem is the code for translating forum codes is basically find/replace, it doesn't know about the semantics of what 10067 means. That would mean, for each time it found [post=10067] it would have to lookup 10067 on the database to work out which thread it was.

Or in your example, 3 lookups, once for the subject (Nested Tables), once for the topic (Lua) and once for the section (MUSHclient).

On sort of the same subject, is it possible for you to setup robots.txt (or something) to stop Google/etc from indexing reply pages? For example, Google indexed this:

The link being: http://ftp.gammon.com.au/forum/bbshowpost.php?action=quote&bbpost_id=57747&page=1

Which brings up a page with a reply box.

OK I have attempted to fix that. May take a while to filter through.

Well, I don't really care about the forum/section as much as the thread title. But yeah, I guess I see that it's complicating the translation process because it makes it more than just regular expressions.
