Is that function available in the new software?

Thank You

Forgot to say that this is in "prosliver". Shopsmith1 seems to have the post # you can click on.

Currently the only way I'm aware of, is to right click on the message icon (just before the "by username") and copy the target link (exact name varies by browser type).

I'll add checking into adding the post number itself to the list of items to check.

You can also use the message title (which is typically the thread title unless changed by the writer of the message). It's the same link as the icon you mentioned. This provides a link that will go to the full thread, but with that message at the top of the screen. I actually like that better than the old way of isolating the message from the thread because it still directs to a particular message, but is easier to see previous context and any responses following it.
