External links to individual replies / posts within a thread not possible in new forum

Hi

With the old forum, it was possible to link to individual replies/posts inside a thread.

It doesn't seem possible with the new forum.

One scenario where it is needed, is for developers (me included) who maintain Showcase threads for their apps, and have separate posts pertaining to different aspects of those apps, for example Privacy Policy, Troubleshooting, Setup Instructions, Fair Usage Policy etc.

I for example linked to these different "sections" from the App store app description page.

I figured how one could add an anchor to a reply in this new forum, but you can only link to it from another reply within the same forum. When accessing the link from outside the forum, the main post is shown first, but the specific reply that the anchor link points to, is not put in focus.

I really hope that it would be possible to have links to individual replies from outside the forum? Will you please look into this?

    - To link to an individual reply you can right click on the timestamp next to the username on the post and copy the link. This should drop you to wherever that reply/post is in the thread.
