    Default site request feature

    Is there a button to link directly to a post instead of 'read post# zyz' that results in the reader having to scroll through pages of posts, to read post zxz. Possibly an internal page link.

    If you hover your mouse over the number of the post (top right: "#1" for your original post in this thread) you can right-click to copy the URL for that specific post. Then as you suggested, just include that as an internal link in your post.

    E.g. this:

    http://straightrazorpalace.com/site-...ml#post1657666

    Should link directly to your initial post.

    Hope that helps

    Also, look at the tool bar above the thread and see 'thread tools'. The drop down menu give an option 'subscribe to this thread' in case it is an informative thread you know you'll want to return to.

    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    I dind that sometimes the multi quote keeps the ticked posts and quotes them again and again when replying with quote. Then i have to go and find them 😐. Maybe if i just let one of the posts go through and edit it they would disappear

    I like that feature, I try to tell people about it too. It stops all the "I just want to see how this thread goes" posts
