    Easier Way to Perma-link To a Post (Jump to the post)

    It would be awesome if there was an easier way to get the URL to a thread that directly jumps to a post. I'm not referring to the link in the top left of every post (where the post # is). That link opens the post in a new window. I am talking about the URL that jumps you directly to the post BUT shows the whole thread still. Like right after you reply to a thread, you jump down to the anchor of the reply you just made.

    Sometimes when I want to do a URL like that I have to make a post (so I can remember the format of the URL) then I have to figure out the post # of the post I want and then I have to plug in all the right #s where they belong.

    The URL format looks like this:
    Code:

    Where as if I just clicked the link in the top left of a post the format looks like this:
