I would truly love it if the "lastnode_id" would go away. as far as i know, it isn't useful for anything except getting the current node's id (by hovering over a link or following the link and reading the current URL), and frankly, i don;t usually care what my current node's ID is. but the lastnode_id going away from the URL would allow my browser to better detect whether or not i have seen a particular node.

incidentally, when i do want the current node ID, i do not want to go through those sorts of shenanigans. why not jsut have each node print its ID somewhere, like in parens under the name in the upper left? i know i have others wish for this feature.

not that i'm trying to make life difficult for the 12th level web mages.

In reply to yet another user option: turn off lastnode_id by Vynce
