What to do with WIP -> release?

[VikingStormtrooper]

Hello folks, just a pair of questions .

 

1) I see that many people link in their signatures the forum threads related with their own addons. Some of these links are in the form 

forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/thread/6digits

but, when I enter my own thread http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/topic/155653-wip122-realisticcomponents-suite-02-02-17/, I get this very long and bad URL; this is pretty annoying, also because it contains the title of my thread, which changes from time to time because I like to put there the date of my last update. How can I obtain the 6-digit code to refer to the thread independently of its title?

 

2) My RealisticComponents Suite is still WIP. As soon as I move to the release, do I have to keep the WIP thread in Add-on Development and create in parallel a new thread in Add-on Releases, or is it better to delete the one in Add-on Development and keep just the new Add-on Releases thread?

Thanks in advance!

Use the "showtopic" feature:

http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?showtopic=155653

If you want you can keep the development thread for dev releases (i.e. not officially stable) of your mod without bloating your main release thread with dev questions, answers and showcases.
