What's up with #2 and "hashes"?

[CapnZapp]

I made a regular post that just happened to feature a list.

Here's a list of three talking points: #1 first #2 second and #3 third.

Now, the numbers get linked and leads to a strange post list with random user poists called "hashes". Such as:
http://www.enworld.org/forum/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=2

Can anyone explain why this happens? This is useful how...?

Huh. I have no idea what that is.

#usertag and #hashtag

Looks like a VBulletin feature for hastags called usertags.

You can make your own hastag lookup url like this.

Ha! Just did. A bit. It's all I know at the moment.

Thanks.

The inevitable question now is: how do I type a regular number sign that isn't interpreted as a hash?

I may have turned it off. I think.
