When I get a new reply, how do I navigate directly to it so that I can reply back?

For the trolls:

  • Yes, I've read the FAQ
  • No, I won't use an addon, I'm asking how it's done on the vanilla site

If you won't use an add-on, you simply can't.
(And I know of no add-on that would allow you to do what you're trying to do from the replies page, either. As the anchor IDs are not in the page source there, I don't think it can be done at all. I could be wrong, though.)

I don't think its possible, it only links you to the thread and not directly to the specific post in said thread.

It's not done vanilla, get a plugin or a sturdy mousewheel.

It's a pain in the ass, but scrolling always works..................eventually.

I think you and me are talking about two slightly different things. It is true! You go to the page, scroll down and find your comment :P

I think (s)he means if there are multiple pages of comments. I believe at the moment it just takes you to the first page.

Oh right, I use the steamgifts plugin, so I don't have pages to look through :P

i usually click the link at the top of the reply, which takes me to the replier's profile. then i go back and click the smaller link that brings me to the thread. then i search the page for some part of the reply that i think is probably unique. if it's a popular thread, it likely won't find it because it's on a different page. the steamgifts userscript for hiding giveaways for games you already have and doing unlimited scrolling seems to break in that case and not load the rest of the thread, so then i give up.

Unfortunately all I can suggest you to do is to:

  • click on one of the thread pages

  • press CTRL+F

  • type in your name

  • rinse and repeat until you find your comment

Not possible without the addon, and even with it you'll probably have to scroll. The forum system does not actually provide hooks for individual posts.
