Hi,

I tried to use HTML to pop some bookmarks _into_ a post today, so that from another link you could get to a specific point in a lengthy post.

I couldn’t seem to get it to work, is this something which isn’t currently supported?

I added this within the post;

```plaintext
<a id="bookmark"></a>

```

..and then, on the end of the URL in the browser, added;

```plaintext
#bookmark

```

I hit enter, but nothing changed, e.g. I wasn’t scrolled down to the bookmark automatically. What I am trying to incorporate is the same functionality I suppose as you already use for the _replies_ to a topic (the reply numbers etc), but this would be for say a wiki post which doesn’t have replies, it’s just quite long.
