On the old software, I could click on a post # and it'd open that post in a separate window so I could directly link someone to that specific post. I can't do that now. Was it an option lost in the upgrade or is it a different way of doing it now?

You can still do that.

Look at Lee's post in this thread, see the #2 on the right in the red bar? If you right click, copy link, it's a link directly to his post.

Thanks Don, when I do that I notice its going straight to that post, but the entire thread is still open/visible to the person I send the link. Is that how it works on this software version? On the old forum software, it'd open up a new window with ONLY that post (#2 in this case) visible. This way is fine, just not the way I was used to it working and wanted to be sure it wasn't something I was doing incorrectly.

I'm running Firefox File Version 5.0.0.4183

I am running IE 8 and also have had the same issue as Chad. Was once JUST the post in the new window that opened.

Did some digging, and it seems this is the new way of doing things. The old "show a single post only on the page" is now a lost feature.
