Finding a link to a post based on old BB code [post=nnnn][/post]?

Is there a method to convert an old BB code post # to a link?

See example below from a post written Dec, 2010

The BB code in "old" TechSpot supported syntax. In above example, It generated a hyperlink link to the thread "How to recover your folders/files when Windows won’t boot" (and I now want to know that hyperlink)

"New" TechSpot doesn't support BB code . Is there currently a way to translate the old BB code post # to a URL to the post it represents?

p.s. That old BB code syntax is still "sprinkled" through many of my old posts. That's what I get for trying to make my old BB code text "succinct"

Yes. Before, if you appended #post No to the thread link, it would take you directly to the post itself, which is useful in the case of long threads. Example: The link to your quoted post would be

Now, it takes you to the thread, but not to the particular post.

OK, I got the two functions mixed up because I had noticed that pointing to a particular post doesn't work now, at least not with my Opera. Are you sure it works?

Thanks Julio. It's a "nice to have" but certainly not a priority. To all of you at TechSpot: Thanks for all the good work!

Thanks, I got it now, I’ve worked out what you’ve done. It’s different from before, but once you know how to do it, it’s easy.

My (off topic) question has been answered, I just hope other members know how to do it too.
