How do you form a URL to display a topic starting at a specific post number?

You can get a URL for just a specific post from the top right of that post but sometimes the following posts go hand in hand and you want to post in a way people can start reading a thread at some midpoint. I see people posting links to the page a post is on, but members can set how many posts are on a page, and it seems like people who set up for a non-default posts per page, can end up on the wrong page.

Take the URL from the specific post number, delete the &postcount=X, and change the showpost.php to showthread.php

As an example you start with: https://www.mustang6g.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1959981&postcount=103

Then end with: https://www.mustang6g.com/forums/showthread.php?p=1959981

Another way is to open the specific post URL then copy the link at the very top right that says "Thread: X". For the same example it gives: https://www.mustang6g.com/forums/showthread.php?p=1959981#post1959981

Here's an easy way. Click on the post #, once it opens up a tab with just that post, you will see at the top-right a link with the thread title. Click on that. Once you do it will take you to that post with the entire rest of the thread. Copy the URL in the address bar and there you have it.
