How one can get link to a one chosen post in whole thread?
I know how to link to a thread, but how to get a link to one thread so the opener would see i.e. tenth post in a row and not the beginning of a page?

Thanks in advance!

Dont think its possible, but when its only one post ... just copy the text and enter it in the new thread as a quote??

I've seen some guys doing that here... quoting is not very usefull when you want to likt to very long post, that's why I've asked.

Quoted Text

Six of one, half a dozen of the other ....
A long post doesn´t get any shorter is its linked or quoted ... still takes the same time to read, and may be preferable instead of having to cross link, or have 2 threads open, to get the full message. It was just one possible solution.

When you post a reply it will actually go down to the point you have posted it on via a page bookmark. Each post is bookmarked so I think adding something like '#postnumber' to the end of a forum URL string is the way they do that. Of course getting the post number is not a simple thing either. You would have to hover over a 'reply to' link and get the post-id off of that click.

Thanks, I get it!
It seems that Frank is right, quoting is easier
