Facebook Forums View?

So I went searching for a post I made a while ago to link to it in another thread.  Naturally I use Google because NI's search feature is...less useful than Google's.  In doing so the first result wasn't a link to the post I made, but to a Facebook forum version of the post I made.  Here is the post it found.

I click around a long time trying to find the actual forum post but couldn't so I used NI's search and found it eventually.  But I got curious to I looked around the facebook view, this appears to be the root for LabVIEW.

I sorta like the view, simply because I can see some content from the OP before tring to answer or help.  Is this a result of some of the other Facebook integration that took place years ago?  Is there an easy way to go from the facebook view to the forum post?

 

EDIT: Found it, if you click the link to the right of the title (the little square arrow, popout) it opens the forum post.

Hi Hooovahh,

 

Yes, the Facebook integration was rolled out in 2013 as mentioned in the topic you linked to: Facebook and NI Forums Integration Pilot.

If you're on the National Instruments Facebook page, click the More tab under the banner, then navigate to Technical Support. This is where this special view of the forum boards resides.

 

As you've already found, clicking on the arrow icon to the right of the topic title will open the full topic on the forums in a new tab.

Let us know if you have any more questions on this.

 

Thanks,
