Searching for the topic/post by ID?

Seems like a candidate for advanced search at best, maybe if you type t:2075 in the search bar, it would take you there?

I think this is the best idea so far. I would consider that in the future other search operators for power users might be introduced like:

status: open, created after: date, etc…

Not trying to over design right now, but its something to keep in mind.

I’m used to doing this in, e.g., Jira. We often just pass along a number in conversation or in an IM or email or whatever. Sometimes I’ve edited the URL (as mentioned up thread) but they also have a “quick search” box where you can enter the ticket number and go right to it. Very useful.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I could also see a plugin that would automatically create links if you put #1234 into a post body, or something like that, which is pretty common in bug trackers.
