Link to individual posts

Post by bassmasta »

Is there any way in phpBB3 to link to individual posts? I know you can change the start post in the url like this http://forums.benheck.com/viewtopic.php ... 112&start=" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;415, but can you link to individual posts?

Click the little icon next to your post's timestamp.

Bam.
Awesome. That works great, but is there a way to link to a page with just that post, rather than just skipping to the post?

Not that I'm aware of, unfortunately. (Though it does help keep posts in context.)

Here's a hint: it starts at 0, and there are 15 posts per page, so the 2nd page starts at 15, 3rd at 30, 4th at 45, etc. Not exactly what you wanted, but it comes closer at least (but I agree with bic, context is sometimes important)

I'll be honest with you - I would have never guessed that.

Yeah. I guess that would be a better idea. I was just thinking of a way to help quickly navigate a worklog thread, or something. But now thinking about it, that would be better because an update might span multiple posts.
Thanks.
