  on another forum i frequent they have just added this feature each post has the poster name as a clicky and this directs you direct to the post in question rather than a page of posts if you look at the code when quoting it shows a unique number after the name which i believe is the direction to that particular posts id

  The capability to zero in on any particular post is already there, since every post has a unique identifier. For example, here are links to two different posts in the same thread:
  
  ····http://forums.parallax.com/showthread.php?p=634281
  ····http://forums.parallax.com/showthread.php?p=668133
  
  The "m=" points to the first post in the thread, and the label after the "#" points to a message within the thread. ('Not sure what the g is for.) The tricky part in creating a directed link is finding out what each message number is. In the upper righthand corner of each message are three little icons: a couple with "!" and a "thumbs down". Rolling your mouse over any one of them should bring up the link address, which will contain "m=", followed by a number. The number is the message number, which you can use after the "#m" to form your directed link.
