An interesting little point came up in some tech editing recently. The discussion involved something called a "post view"---a view on which various postings appear. The question was: Should it be "post view" when only one post is shown but "posts view" when there are more than one?
The answer is that it's always "post view." "Post" is an adjective describing what kind of view it is, and doesn't indicate the number of posts. A daily-life example would be this: My library card is valid at all libraries in my county, but it's still just a library card, not a "libraries card."
