How do I make a link to someones post, so that when the link is opened, it'll jump right to that post? I skimmed over the FAQ so I dont know if I missed it and if I did, make fun of me. I did manage to get a link from clicking on the the post # under the persons photo, and found what I was looking for, and right clicked and copied the link, however when I paste it in the browser (firefox) it just jumps back to the front page.

Because of the way these particular forums are configured, I think that feature is broken. But just in case someone else has successfully done it, find their post with the link, mouse over it and you'll see the link at the bottom of your browser (unless you use that shitty Safari browser). You can then edit what you need. Find the post you want and hover your mouse over its EDIT link. Notice the forum, thread, and reply numbers. Edit into your link. Condense link with URL tags so it isn't so long. Post.

f = forum. 8=Film Yak. t = thread number. reply = reply number. u = user (ignore). p = page number.

Any threads with pictures in them won't work because the thread moves all over the place while pictures draw, making you look at posts above the one you want to see.
