Permalink not working for extra pages...

I'm not sure if it's been mentioned already but the permalink err link on extra pages (like page 2 onwards) in threads doesn't work, it wants to take you to the first page of the thread (like [noparse]http://www.hardwareforums.com/random-thread-342425/[/noparse] and then the post number: #post34567 or whatever - it doesn't add in the page number like /2/ to make the permalink work properly...)

I hope that made sense... :confused:
 
what does the Permalink do ?[ot]yes, i can sometimes be thick BTW: like you haven't noticed[/ot]

Edit: it only brings a post to the top of the browser window, surely it does more than that
 
the #post bit after the url refers to an anchor tag in the source code.

So for instance:

#post12345 after the URL would link you to the area of the page with:

Code: 
<a name="post12345"></a>

Which is useful if you want to show someone a post in a thread (without just showing that one post only).

oh right, thankies[ot]in the past i've just used the BBCode[/ot]
 
when u use that quote button....Notice that permalink automatically comes with it in the Reply.... But it is useful when u want someone to specifically look at particular post.....! Like I want u to look at [link=http://www.hardwareforums.com/permalink-not-working-extra-pages-16432/#post107130]this[/link] post of urs... :D
 
yeah, it's just easier to use the bbcode, because you can choose to only link to 1 post rather than an entire thread
Code: 
[thread]<thread number>[/thread] or [thread=<thread num>]<text>[/thread] and [post]<post num>[/post] or [post=<post num>]<text>[/post]
[ot]BTW: approve the new sig[/ot]BTW: check bbcode
 
For linking to just one post you can click the number of the post next to permalink, that'll take you to that single post :)
