And this is the message number. When you quote someone you get a message number you can use.....
#message_3085610

I don't get a message number when I quote someone.

The only way I can find out the message number of the post I want to link to is to find an odd key word in the post and use the forum search feature to search for that word by that particular user. When I find the post that has the content that I am looking for, I copy the link from the address bar.

If there is an easier way to find out the message number of a post in the middle of a thread, I'd like to know how. It would save me a huge amount of time because I rely on bookmarking specific posts  for my bookmark threads.

able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi
