psst! Anyone got any idea what he's talking about?
When you create a 'permalink', you get something like
http://www.cerocscotland.com/forum/social-events/14198-bliss-aftermath-4.html#post414695
(no particular significant to that link - picked at random).
Note the ...-4.html bit, which seems to instruct vBulletin to go to the 4th page of the thread.
This causes problems if your "number of posts / page" setting isn't the forum default, because in that case the post linked to won't actually be on the 4th page.
I suspect this is a fundamental problem with the permalink model and therefore not easily fixed, but thought I'd mention it.

Think I've complained about this a number of times. It's the "Search Engine Friendly URLs" thing that breaks the permalinks.
The best way round it is to "quote" the post you want to link to, "preview" the reply, and then copy the link from the displayed quote – that really does work for everyone.

What about clicking on the number, rather than the permalink?
That provides a "thread number / post number" reference - without a page.
For example:
http://www.cerocscotland.com/forum/414608-post43.html
Oh sure - I mean obviously I remember every interesting thread that's been posted on the forum for the last 5 years. (How hard can it be to remember 3 threads? ). But which exact stupid w00den utterance is being discussed isn't always so easy to glean.
But seriously, it's not a big deal - it was just something I'd noticed as a 'glitch', and once I realised why it was going wrong I figured I might as well post about it.
