Is

```php

how you reference a thread?

Okay, that worked. Am I safe in surmising that [this](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=4540482&postcount=7) is the right way to reference a particular post?

That method brings up the single post you’re referring to. To position the post in the thread, use this:

[post=4540482]that post[/post]

[post=4540482]that post[/post]
