view_post method for a forum

Ah, nuts! I just realised I missed your point. It wasn't to trim the IDs from the end, it was to actually yield the position of the post. The solution works beautifully with the posts as a whole, but I can't make that work within a specific topic ID without a sub-select. Or at least I don't think it's possible. I can't wait for the day when MySQL is built with this in mind, and allows you to grab the position of a row within a result set.
