“I cant make heads or tales of this solution”
It works like this....

The above link will jump you back to post 131. You can jump ahead as well by using the (assumed) number that your post will be and adding one to the page number.
This post SHOULD be number 143 and I could put a link to go to post 144. It wouldn’t work until post 144 actually appeared, but on a thread like this, it wouldn’t take long for that to happen.
So.... let’s try it.

Dangit, someone got in another post before I hit enter.
That’s why I said it would be tricky, but if done RIGHT at the beginning of the thread, before posts by readers got going, it would work.
