Greetings,

Sometimes I need to link to a post within a thread. Other forum programs allow you to click on a button to display a post by itself on its own webpage. It is easy to copy the URL for that post and create a link with it.

Our phpBB forum software at United3DArtists seems to lack this feature. And yet it is possible to jump to a specific topic when you click on a "recent post" button or when you click on a "last post" link. Here is an example:

Link 1 - jumps to the beginning of marcel's "Question for Professionals" thread in the "General Discussion" forum. It's easy to obtain these URLs. Here's the URL for it: Link 2 - jumps to a specific post inside the same thread. These are the URLs that I need and don't know how to obtain them. Here's the URL for it: So, the question is: "How do we discover the URL that will cause a thread to open to a specific post inside it?"

Best regards, ~FL~

In Aeroblue and Twilight themes there is a rectangle left of the word "Posted" and the posting date. Clicking that puts the post at the top of the screen and the url for that is in the location/site bar. In Prosilver theme the rectangle is left of "by <author's name> » <date> " which is under the post's title.

For example this post is: vi ... 3444#p3444"

Excellent! Thanks Finis.
