I'd like to suggest the Post ID to show up on the header or footer of each post, or maybe an image like the report post & add rep, to copy Post ID to clipboard

I only know of two ways to find out the Post ID,
Hovering over Reply or Reply With Quote and writing down the code which shows up on the browsers status bar - e.g p=1234567 (Usually shows at the bottom of the browser.),
Or clicking on Reply With Quote and in the reply box copying the ID that shows up - e.g ..username;1234567

It's useful to know a Post ID, in cases of referring someone (non-mod) to a specific post by using the post bb tags --
link to post
You could just say "Check out this post, hahaha"
As opposed to "Go to this thread, go to page 54, scroll down till you see the guy 'Random', hahaha"
Or say my signature, I've linked a post to remind myself of something.

I apologise if no one agrees, or if there is an easier way I don't know about :P

Why don't you just quote the post and put it in the other thread? :)

Say you want to Quote a post that you cant reply to, there's a few forums like that.

Ah, you can click the number of the post in the top right corner (e.g. this post would be #4) and copy that link.

Isn't Calvin such a charming gentleman... always ready to offer a helping hand.. :)

I did find your whole "copy to clipboard" idea quite ingenious though! :P
