from Thiron's compilation post:

* Direct links to a specific post
[...]
anonymous (link):
Suppose you go to the post history of a user.
e.g. http://dynasty-scans.com/forum/posts?user_id=2
For a given post, you want to open the thread of that post to see the context.
You click on the thread subject at the top of the post.
Ideally, it should bring you to the page of the thread that the post is on.
Right now, it brings you to the first page of the thread.
Nezchan (link):
Well, it would be nice to have permalinks to individual posts in general. Don't have that functionality atm.
Alice Cheshire (link):
It does technically (with a bit of an exception) if you inspect the page source for the post history pages. For the most recent post in the search history linked above for example the post is forum_post_49678. If you're on the right page of the thread then it will actually link directly to that post if you add #forum_post_49678 to the end of the url for that thread. The only issue is that you do need to be on the right page or else it doesn't work. As an example this will link straight to your post.
anonymous (link):

Right, so as pointed out by Alice Cheshire, "pseudo-permalinks" are implemented.
(Pseudo in that it's not a URL with a single piece of information, most likely the post ID, so something like
http://dynasty-scans.com/forum/posts/95105 )
[...]
Not sure if this was mentioned somewhere...
I see that post permalinks have been implemented! The date at the top of each post, in regular threads as well as in post history, is now a permalink!
And actually, that very example URL that I posted way back then...
http://dynasty-scans.com/forum/posts/95105
Back then, that link didn't do anything, of course.
But today, that exact link works and redirects to the proper full URL.
Minor suggestion... It's not very obvious that it is a link. On mouse hover, yes, but before that, it looks like regular non-clickable text. Perhaps it could use the styles used for all other links. Just a minor suggestion.
Anyway, this is great. It should come in handy. Nice work!
Thanks!
