Well there's a button to find a devs post in the thread so i think there should be a button to find your own post in a thread.
If a thread is very long and you forgot what page you posted on its a pain to find your last post, in case you want to refer back to it, which I often do.

Doesnt seem that complicated to add, pretty simple suggestion.

Simple Anchor code added to the forums :D. Would help a lot and shouldn't be too tough to add a anchor eh?

There is...you click on your avatar and to the left of the page is find all post/find all started thread. Starts from the newest to the oldest you've posted/created threads. You can do this with any forum member, actually. :)

That's not really what I'm talking about...
I mean finding your post in one specific thread.

For example, in the haiku thread, I wanted to edit my haiku, but I forgot what page I posted it on. I had mo idea so I had to go through 25 pages to find it.

Yeah, but when you click on "find all post" you look through your post (from new to old) and when you find the haiku contest thread. Click on your post, and it takes you to your post/page you posted on.

anchor's are HTML code. They allow you to find places in a web page. Also the same system used in finding the Devs posts.

Simpler if there's just a button like the one for finding a devs post.

Bump because I think this really should be implemented.
