I have a question: is there any possibility to go directly to a single message in a given thread?

What variables have to be set then?

E.g.:

http://www.mysite.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=107&PN=1 - http://www.mysite.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=107&PN=1

The above shows TopicID 107 and Page number 1. But let's say there are 20 or so replies in that thread. What do I write after the TID=107&PN=1 to land on any particular message/reply (of course this is presupposing that PID, PostID known in advance).

If not possible - could anyone familiar with SQL please write a MOD on this issue? It would be VERY useful! My own thought would be to have forum_topics.asp write down a list of anchors #1, #2, #3 etc. But that is no real solution, since linking to them would only work if the forum is static or locked.

the anchors are already present. the are related to the thread_ID field in the DB. if u go in the forum_posts.asp, this value is held in the lngMessageID variable. so all you have to do is find out what that id is and use it like
http://www.mysite.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=107&PN=1 - http://www.mysite.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=107&PN#thread_ID

and it would take u to that perticular post in that page.

hope that helps
