Link from individual post to thread?

This may already exist and I'm just a bit thick, but I always find it frustrating when someone links to an individual post from a thread and I can't access the thread itself to get some background. Obviously this has greate comedic effect when posts are quoted completely out of context, but there are occasionally moments…

Here's an easy way around your problem.

:P

It happens us all, some forums can't be accessed by the masses (Mods included).

Great, gang up and make a fool of me, why don't you? Couldn't one of you at least pretend to have 'just discovered' it or admit it was 'kind of hard to see'?

Tum-ti-tum.
