You need to get the thread id # (right from the address bar) and also the post number (upper right, float your mouse over the "#nnn") and then type/edit to glue the two together, for example:
Code:
http://forum.lowcarber.org/showthread.php?t=266493&postcount=239
Note the thread idea is the
t=nnnnnn part and is joined by the
ampersand to the relevant post with
postcount=nnn part...
I'm almost positive, like you, I used to get the whole thing with selecting the link (right click, ctrl-C) from the postcount, but that may well have been another forum. Strong possibility perhaps that each forum can have those linking options set differently.
Fun, eh?
ps: I did have a cruise through the Technical Help subforum and the FAQ there, but no joy...
pps:
~~later: ooof! post 239 is on the '1st page' (I sort by most recent first) so I need to go back and test this some more...
~~even later: well, I'm a dufus. That method above only takes you to (your) first page of the given thread...and no error message.
You can, however, provide a link to a given page, and most folks default to oldest posts first, so the link will work for just about everybody, like this:
http://forum.lowcarber.org/showthre...=266493&page=10
...in this protocol, you identify the thread with the
t=nnnnnn , conjoin with the
ampersand and identify the page with the
page=nn ... OR:
http://forum.lowcarber.org/showthre...3&page=10&pp=15
...all the same but you are specifying how many posts per page with the conjoining using the ampersand the pp=nn (total posts divided by posts per page, a user-set number, gives so many pages, kind of like rangefinding at the gun range!
Hey, cool! that means that if you set 1 post per page and you know the thread and post numbers (yup, can do), you can do this
(for
latest first display order, post 239 out of 249):
Code:
http://forum.lowcarber.org/showthread.php?t=266493&page=11&pp=1
or this (for
oldest first display order, the way almost everyone has it set, post 239 out of 249):
Code:
