    new to this forum I would like to know,

    how to link directly to another posting - not only page 2 of thread xxxx, but presenting the posting itself in top position?

    Getting the posting number (for example 1128283) by investigating the 'Quote' button I tried address strings like
    <...elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=72586&postid=1128283>
    but didn't succeed.

    Any suggestions?

    You're close. Here's the correct string, without the quotes:

    "http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=1128283#post1128283"

    Result:

    http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=1128283#post1128283

    In practice, instead of entering that string manually:

    - click on "Posts: ..." under that poster's ID
    - find and click on the particular post you want
    - click once in the browser address box to select the URL
    - Ctrl c to copy the URL to the clipboard, then, later, Ctrl v to paste in your reply. :)
