How do I link to a location on a page?

[guava]

I understand how to set up a hyperlink in my post, but I’d like to be able to point to a specific post inside a thread. How do I do that?

From the FAQ threads at the top of this forum:

Linking directly to a post within a thread

To link directly to a post within a thread, modify appropriately the following URL
http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?postid=NNN#postNNN
by replacing NNN with the postid. Here’s how you find the postid for a post:
If you position your mouse button over the “quote” button at the bottom of the post, you should see a link appear in the “status bar” of your browser (usually at the bottom of the browser window), and the link will show the postid for that post. If that doesn’t work, you can press the quote button, and a new reply window will open. The URL for that reply window should show in the URL field at the top of your browser window, and the URL contains the postid for the post.

Thank you Ice Wolf. I knew there were more FAQs than the ones I read last week. More reading to do now.
