Maybe I'm just missing where it is, or it has already been explained but could someone tell me how to direct link to posts(if it's still possible)?

Thanks

I've been bugging for the direct link button to come back. Maybe eventually it will...

It's a big hassle. You have to look for in the HTML source and find the <a name="2618418">-type link above the post, and then you can just append it to the URL like Athens demonstrated.

It's easier to extract the post number from the Reply button for the post.
