If you go to the most recent message in a topic, you are at the URL of that specific message.
Now, say you see a message that is 3 messages up. Before that message was identified (the URL) as being in a certain forum (number designation) and a certain message number.
The way it is now, there doesn't seem to be any good way to create a URL for a link to that message.

Added by edit: Didn't these changes just render hoards of links all over the internet, to evcforum.net messages, to now be worthless?
