    Can ye avoid this kind of shyte: We are in the twentys now, most users are on mobile devices and cannot see post numbers. We aren't going to count thru 42 (or whatever) posts to find a warning.

    [This is just one example that I've seen that was easy to screenshot, I have zero interest in the topic or what the warning is about. But there have been other cases.]

    Using the first post is always simpler anyway and usually more visible, even without the mobile post numbers issue.

    Hi @Mrs OBumble

    Feedback noted. I can see how this is suboptimal now that post numbers are not visible on the mobile site.

    I'll mention to the mods that if a general thread warning is applied, they are better to copy paste it into the OP.
