Yeah, I've also found that to be a problem, Ginger. What I do, is if it is a long thread, I set my thread settings to 500 posts per page, and then use the "find a word" setting on my browser to find that conversation.

For instance, I recently somehow found an individual post I made back in June on the 2022 Tomato Thread. Well, I don't know if you know how long of a thread that is, but it's a big 'un. I went to my settings and set the posts per page to 500:
Thumb of 2022-09-16/Johannian/c18107
Thumb of 2022-09-16/Johannian/656fc9

That shortened the thread from 170 pages to 7. Much easier. Then, I used the "find on page" option (if you're on computer, I think you'll have to press ctrl+f, but in the following image this is how I do it on iPad):
Thumb of 2022-09-16/Johannian/25ddca

Then, I type in a sentence from the post I'm trying to find. For example, if I were given a thumbs-up for a post that read: Ginger, your dog Bailey is really cute. When's the next Bailey Diaries episode coming out? I might just select the first sentence and search for that on the page. Then, it'll pop up and I can read the conversation.

Once I had read as much as I had wanted, I went back to my settings and put my posts per page back to 20.

Describing it is long, but it's actually quite quick and convenient when put into action. I hope this helps!
