Hi

Is there a way to jump directly to a particular known post number within a long thread (without knowing the page#)?

Right now you would need to know the post id which is on each post

http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/fb.asp?m=9584131 for example is yours

if you click the post number itself it is a link to that exact post.  however you can't go to say post #55 because in our system many threads have a post #55 so each one has a unique post id
