Direct link to a group post reply

Sensual Art

By Sensual Art, 1733608811

A group post reply has a unique page/id. This is provided - and works - from

  • a notification
  • page/mystuff (the gadget and the "More" page for it)
  • page/activityfor/<user>

but not from https://purpleport.com/group/<group>/<post>/<title>/yourreplies
e.g. https://purpleport.com/group/games/1776/the-post-something-similar-game--/yourreplies
or https://purpleport.com/group/general-chat/196524/references/yourreplies

Can this be fixed please?  The "Go to reply" link is there, but misses out the page number, and sometimes it would be useful to go back and see the context in which the reply was posted.

Similarly, https://purpleport.com/page/group/postsby/sensualart misses out the page and gr#

I don't think it can be resolved, since the page number of a reply is not recorded anywhere, and to calculate the page number would require iterating every reply in a post and finding the position of your reply within the others.

So how is it done in the cases where the page is provided?

And how do the postsby and .../yourreplies pages know the set of group post replies?  It feels like there's some denormalised data already.
