Linking directly to post?

   Is it possible to link directly to post except with link to named anchor (http://example.com/forum/topic.php?id=152#post-499) on topic page, just like in vBulletin (http://example.com/forum/showthread.php?p=1856440#post1856440) or SMF (http://example.com/index.php/topic,152.msg499.html#msg499)?

   Why I am asking this is that I'm doing migration from SMF and there are many links which contains IDs of posts and I want to link directly to them in bbPress too (through mod rewrite), and this is hard when topics have multiple threads (how to find on which page is post in exampled SMF URL above?).

   Thanks

   Yes, just click the hash (#) next to the time posted and you'll see that that's a permalink to the one specific reply. This is yours. Might not look like much unless your browser window is very small, but you can check the address bar to be certain it's working.

   You didn't understand. I know about what you talked but I'm asking for option where ID of post would be sent as a GET and then it will redirect to topic page with hash and topic ID (like in examples from vBulletin and SMF I posted above)

   As I said above, I want to migrate from SMF and in SMF's URLs there are IDs of posts and I want to redirect to correct one. When there is only one page of topic, then there is no problem with redirection that ends with named anchor, but for longer topics I can't find number of page where post appear.
