/facepalm

I didn’t think of that!

Interestingly though, I did try it using the _name_ attribute first and when that didn’t work I used the _id_ instead.

Can you think of any reason why it wouldn’t work if the #bookmark part of the URL was on the end of the topic number?

For example, looking at this topic, I see this in the browser;

```
https://meta.discourse.org/t/html-bookmarks-not-discourse-bookmarks/77241/2

```

I appreciate the `/2` on the end is for the reply, and the previous number, `/77241` is the topic, so, should `/77241#bookmark` work?

Update

Interesting, taking one the links from the /guidelines page and opening it in a new tab (Chrome) also didn’t exhibit the desired behaviour!

For example;

```
https://community.gamedev.tv/t/forum-guidelines-faq/5#flag-problems

```

Only seem to work if they are clicked on, on the actual page…
