Link to specific comment?

Hello!

 

https://www.chess.com/clubs/forum/view/livros-1?page=2&newCommentCount=5#first_new_comment

 

This link will lead exactly to the fifth newer comment at a page.

This is quite good already, but it requires a page to be filled completely in order to reach 100% accuracy if I want to use it for a summary (or else it might lead to another comment, in case there are newer comments).

What I would like to ask you: Is there a way of linking to a specific comment in a page? That way, I would have 100% accuracy, even if the page is not filled completely.

 

Sorry if this is not your field. I really don't know these programming stuff, but I'm in huge need of a proper way to link to comments. I want to cite members who contributed with books & etc, in a specific topic for that, and link to the page & comment where they did contribute.

 

Thanks a lot!

I would LOVE to be able to do this. Currently, the best solution I know of (which is still not a very good solution) is to do this: https://www.chess.com/clubs/forum/view/livros-1?quote_id=32661084&page=2#comment_box

Yes! That quote tactic is quite nice as well.

I might use it temporarily and maybe change to the new comment feature once the page is filled, updating the links to that particular page. However, I'm afraid that people "Not-So" used to the website might accidentaly post the quote or something.

 

The new comment option fits perfectly, if the page is complete.

 

By Josh:

As you can see in your link where is says newCommentCount=5 you can change 5 to any number. It counts from the bottum up. So count from the buttom up and put that number.

For example:

https://www.chess.com/clubs/forum/view/livros-1?page=2&newCommentCount=5#first_new_comment
https://www.chess.com/clubs/forum/view/livros-1?page=2&newCommentCount=4#first_new_comment
https://www.chess.com/clubs/forum/view/livros-1?page=2&newCommentCount=3#first_new_comment
https://www.chess.com/clubs/forum/view/livros-1?page=2&newCommentCount=2#first_new_comment
https://www.chess.com/clubs/forum/view/livros-1?page=2&newCommentCount=1#first_new_comment

All will take you to a different part of the page.

 

Nonetheless it'd be awesome to have this feature from up to down, to use as a summary. happy.png
