In 2.0.4 newbb module was updated to allow the # feature in the URL to take the visitor directly to a specific post.

- Fixed newbb module to correctly use the # feature in URL

However, I think this only works if the post referenced is on the first page of the thread. On a long thread, the visitor is simply taken to the top of the thread instead of to the specific post.

For example, a reference to a specific post in a long thread:
https://xoops.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=11135&forum=4&post_id=51197#forumpost51197

I think this is minor, and I understand why it happens. I'm not sure it is worth fixing, that is up to the devs. Just thought I would mention it so it could be tracked.

Yes, this is one of the bugs that we should be working on for the future versions.
