When I hover over a question/reply number (in this forum), I see the link in the status bar and can use it to insert a link that would open the page in that position.
Example
How do I do that in other pages?
Example2
Example3
In those pages, I can't find any link hovering with the mouse over a specific section.
Thank you.
It appears to be based upon the number after the /, for example, changing the link to this page /350332-link-certain-position-page.html to /350311-link-certain-position-page.html takes you to a different thread/post on this forum and changes the text after the /350311 to show the new page. It must be associated to how the sites are created and pages written.
For example2 you click Share below each answer, and it will show the URL including the anchor to that answer
For example3 you click the small white image above the answer next to "Posted", example:

I guess the poster already knew about them, or checked out the page source and looked for ID tags. If you're not familiar with HTML it might be difficult, but try searching for id=" The problem though is it's usually lots of them in a page.
Here's a few lines from the page source that defines the question link:
So in this example you take the URL to the page and add #question-header at the endHTML Code:<div id="question-header"> <h1 itemprop="name"><a href="/questions/382047/linking-to-a-specific-scroll-position-on-a-web-page" class="question-hyperlink">Linking to a specific scroll position on a web page</a></h1> </div> <div id="mainbar">
Thanks again. You've been very helpful.
