Links to individual posts don't work

Go to post 143, where there is a list of 3 different posts. ATM, they all link to the same post, 71 in the thread, instead of 71, 73, 77, 88.

He's doing it wrong. You have to update the first number--that's the post id.

Meaning there's no easy way to generate a link to a post based on thread ID and post number. Gah.

Strange the post you referred to works for me.

to get link to individual post easily click the number of the post in its' top right hand corner - that will open in a separate window or tab, then just copy and paste in the URL from the address bar:

The link is in the upper right hand corner of the post.

You can also link to a post in context, meaning when you follow the link you will be at the post in question but the rest of the posts are there as well.

You just have to read the post id from the tooltip when you mouse over the number in the upper right, and then put it in twice like that.

Sigh. I was compiling a list of posts in your damn Mafia game, Sasaki, and I was hoping to easily produce clickable links just by combining the thread ID, the post number, and some other url guff. For instance, I can produce a clickable link to the page of the thread where the post is, by doing the above.

Links to a single post such as: https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showpost.php?p=1523739&postcount=73

Can be entered as: https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showpost.php?p=1523739

This omits the post number, which is just cosmetic.

The "&postcount=73" only adds the same link to the top corner of the post like this: #73 and links you back to the same post. The number 73 is just a reference to the seventy third post in the thread at that point and is not the real post ID which is the first 7 digit number, so it's not that useful to have it.
