Indeed.

Anyway, one of the forum settings is "Number of Posts to Show Per Page" which defines how many posts you'll see. I've got mine set at 40. if you have your default "Number of Posts..." setting (I think it's 20), you'll have different page numbers than me.

Your link points to a particular page number of a (very long thread), so when anyone with a different setting from you clicks the link they'll end up looking at a different page.

Besides all that, creating a new thread just pointing to an existing thread is frowned upon as it ends up making the forum a complete mess.

Perhaps that whole thread needs to be wiki-ised?
