    If person a has say 30 posts displayed, while person B has 10 posts displayed, and they are on a thread 30 posts long. Person B will link something from "page 2" (even your first post has a "page 3" extension shown) But for person A who has 30 posts displayed, will not see the link person B gave because a page 2 does not exist for them. What they are saying if you click the post number in the upper right hand of the post, you get the direct post link and everyone will be able see it, regardless of settings.

    How come people can't explain this in detail? It is clear Ghastly has no clue what people are talking about.
    Oh. People have explained and the OP knew and understood. See the last quote here. The OP insists that the people she is trying to relate information to should fit her style, instead of the other way round.

    And I don't see how people trying to get her to be more accurate when relaying information she knows and others do not know as being petty either, as claimed by Kohdo. Put it this way. A new poster posts multiple times because they do not know how to bypass the 1000 character limit. Another poster tells them how to. Nothing wrong, am I right? In fact, most would be thankful to learn something better and they would edit their post to help others read it better. In this situation, the OP reacted differently instead and insists people should sift through multiple posts.

    you linked to the page, Mahrze to the post on that page (to get such a link you have to press on the "#0" in the upper right corner of the post).

Though we can turn this into a linking 101 class if that's the agenda/priority of this thread now. I notice and know you're trying to help and don't mean it in bad faith but do we have to make it about nuance differences instead of adding to the topic at hand?

    Anyway, whatever. This is no longer worth it. I won't be making any more posts regarding this.
