Try, for example, the Last Post link for WORD GAME PART 3 by Zaudy. For this topic, you should find that your browser presents the required post.

reminds me vaguely of a bug elsewhere.
@ Nabble

I'm reminded of Nabble permalink offered in WebKit is not wholly reliable, and differs from resulting URL in Firefox

An example from buslady's forum,
<http://n2.nabble.com/forum/Permalink.jtp?root=2570782&post=2581036&page=y> offered from within the Last Post column appears to redirect first to
<http://n2.nabble.com/WE-were-cancelled-I-27m-heartbroken-tt2570782.html#a2581036> then to
<http://n2.nabble.com/WE-were-cancelled-I%27m-heartbroken-tc2570782.html> in Safari; at some point, reference to the post is lost.

Remarkable in the URL is the apostrophe; in the address bar of Firefox, it presents it as an apostrophe, but if copied to pasteboard it presents as %27

Bug in WebKit, bug in Nabble, or some combination of the two?

Regards
Graham
I tried the last post in the thread you suggested and it worked fine..took me right to the last post.  Hope that information helps.  I'm still having issues with most of the other threads including this one.
