NOTE TO MODERATOR AND LINK POLICE:
THERE IS NO LINK, NO PLAINTEXT URL, nor OBFUSCATED URL IN THE BELOW
THE URL-LIKE LINE BELOW GOES TO NO PAGE

There is no way to build a direct URL from the info given.

The URL structure for /qresearch/ posts is:

8ch.net/qresearch/res/BREAD_FIRST_POST_NUMBER.html#qPOST_NUMBER

The protocol at 8ch.net is https, not http.

The BREAD_NUMBER (3504 in the example above ) is not the same as BREAD_FIRST_POST_NUMBER.

Here is a one bread table for BREAD_NUMBER=3504:

BREAD_NUMBER	BREAD_FIRST_POST_NUMBER
    3504                2773643

I know this by having recorded the correlation between bread_no and first_post_no shortly after the bread was created. I keep a record of the bread titles too. No good reason for doing that, I've had no use for it other than being entertaining, giving a sense of how fast 8ch.net is moving.

With BREAD_FIRST_POST_NUMBER, you now have enough to build a URL direct to the referred POST_MUMBER (2773920 in the example above). I know it works, I just did it myself.

Another way to get to the referred post is to manually visit /qresearch/
I use the /index.html page to navigate. Others have recommended the /catalog.html page, but that page has been broken for intervals of days at a time in the past. May never break again, and /catalog.html is more concise than /index.html.

The direct visit method takes manual browsing -- page down (in either the /index/html or /catalog.html view), view and seek for the thread with the title "Q Research General" and a bread number that matches the one you are seeking. Click on that (more details follow), and again manually browse -- page down and seek the post with the POST_NUMBER given.

If you are viewing /qresearch/ from its /index.html, the link that works is the BREAD_FIRST_POST_NUMBER.

#3504: Space Force on the Moon Edition 08/28/18 (Tue) 19:28:12 8c5e40  No.2773643

In /index.html view, when seeing that bread, you would click on the number 2773643 to open the bread.

If you are viewing from /catalog.html, the entire thumbnail is a clickable link.
