How can I link to a post within a thread, like for a table of contents?

I have honestly never figured out how to do this, and I'm not sure if you can on these forums.  Anyone else want to field this one?

hack the url
this page is: http://www.thecbg.org/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?5826.0
where you see "5826.0" "5826" refers to the thread, ".0" refers to the first post to show, in this case, the first one, 0. (the count goes 0,1,2, etc.) if you change the number, the page will start at a different post.

It looks a bit weird though, especially on a one-page-thread: earlier posts are simply cut off. At first I didn't even realize something had changed.

"Then shall the last battle be gathered on the fields of Valinor. In that day Tulkas shall strive with Melko, and on his right shall stand Fionwe and on his left Turin Turambar, son of Hurin, Conqueror of Fate; and it shall be the black sword of Turin that deals unto Melko his death and final end; and so shall the Children of Hurin and all men be avenged." - J.R.R. Tolkien, The Shaping of Middle-Earth

add #post_5984 to the link url.
as in: http://www.thecbg.org/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?5826.0#post_5984
change 5984 to the right post number (guess, edit the post, quote it, whatever)
(i'm finding this out by messing around, pardon the dodgy advice.)

That works quite well indeed; I just set up a table of contents on my main thread  here.  Just quoting the posts you are linking to seems the best way to find out the post number.  Thanks for the help!
