It kind of is a bug though, and it has been a very annoying one.
I simply see no purpose to it. There's NO WAY anyone would want to know who else posted something with No. 1, or whatever.
Maybe this hashtag "feature" could be removed for numbers???
As mahasamatman previously mentioned; this is NOT new to this latest update, but would be nice if it could be corrected.
It's VERY annoying, especially for new members who may think there is a clickable link in a post with additional information, when there is not.
This would be some example:
"So, I was #1 on the upgrade list, but then almost miraculously, just 5 minutes before boarding I dropped to #3, then #14 . 10 minutes later I
was #1 again. Why? By the way, I feel sorry for the last on the upgrade list, as they were at #1574!"
See how those links appear? I would now normally go back into EDIT mode, and delete those links manually.
(I did this edit for Number 3 in the above example (removed the hyperlink), and changed the number 1574 from 123, but it still reverts to hashtag 123.)
REALLY QUITE ANNOYING!
