In a URL such as

http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?p=1807627&highlight=#1807627

is it correct that the "p=1807627&highlight=#1807627" together
determine the thread, and a posting within the thread?

When reading a particular posting in GentooForum thread, how does
one obtain the URL of that posting?

Yes, although you don't need the &highlight= part, which is used for highlighting specific words.

Just next to the word Posted at the top of the post is a little icon, right-click on it and use 'Copy link location'.

Thank you tomk; clear and to the point.

And it happens to me again! --the generational difference: Every
time I can't find something, the answer is "Click on the
decoration
".

That's ok; my grandfather never got the hang of capacitive
switches that don't move, even though they have changed their
state...
