In another question someone suggested accessing thread 30041. How do I access a thread by number
If you look at the URL for this thread, the six digit number at the end represents the thread id. In this case it’s #149028. Go up and replace the 149028 part with 030041, and it’ll bring up the thread in question.
I don’t know if there’s any other way to call up a thread via it’s id number…

It’s easy.
Type in the straight dope url followed by showthread.php?threadid=######
So, in your case: http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=30041

Thanks for the info.

Since this is a question about this message board, I’ll move this thread to ATMB.
