[Forum Suggestion] A way to go to dev post.

Right now finding posts by SE is pretty tedious even with the dev tracker. You have to go through many pages of a thread to find the red post.

A button to go directly to the red post(s) on the dev tracker would be awesome. I have seen this in other game forums and it works very well.

the dev tracker on the right hand side of the front page does this

I think the problem that the OP is talking about is that even though the aforementioned Dev Tracker does give a list of the various dev posts, actually clicking on them simply takes you to the first page of the discussion. Which leaves you to have to come the thread page by page in order to find the SE post(s).

It would simply be nice if the tracker would send us directly to the post, or at the very least the page where the first dev response can be found.

The one on the right hand side of the page does do that, takes me directly to the page and post of the dev post. For me anyway

That's odd, then. I've tried three different browsers, and none of them take me directly to the post. They all send me to the first page of the thread, every time.

Using the "Dev Tracker" button in the top right gives you a list of threads that they have posted in. However, when you click on one of these threads you always go to the first post.

Alternatively, clicking on one of the dev post links on the right side of the page should bring you to directly to that dev post. It does for me, anyway. But not all dev posts are listed in that pane.

Ohh, I see what you mean. I never use the Dev Tracker pane on the main forum page, although I may need to start since that one does seem to work correctly. However, it would still be nice if they could fix the Dev Tracker link at the top of every page.
