Can someone tell me why my link isnt' pointing to the right place?

Check out my sig. It has a link. It takes you to a page but shows no posts. What gives? Thanks.

I use firefox but it seems it doesn't work for people with explorer. It works for me. :-/

Take out &STARTPAGE=5&FTVAR_FORUMVIEWTMP=Linear#16008905

But I wanted to link directly to a given post, not just the thread. 🙁

This is the advice I WAS following

Does it work now?

Get rid of "&messid=16008905&parentid=16008514&FTVAR_FORUMVIEWTMP=Single", and replace it with "#xxxxxxx", X's being the last number in the URL that shows up at the bottom of the page when hovering the mouse over the print reply button. I.e. to reference your thread.... (this better work 😛) http://forums.anandtech.com/me...eadid=1421443#16159081

I think I tried this method before. Doesn't this one work or not work depending on how many posts someone displays per page?

Here is using your method:

When CkGunslinger Attacks! (link working?)

EDIT: Doesn't this just point to the thread?

Working for me, I assume the post you want to reference starts with... "No, jackass - take your off-base assumptions and shove them."? It might give the impression of not working for a moment since the page needs to fully load first, during which time the top will be displayed - even on 1.5mbit dsl, a 100-post page, especially a flamefest like that one with a lot of nested quotes, takes a second or two for me.
