Finding Post Numbers

Is there a quick way to find post numbers that doesn't involve sifting through the source code for the page? A few other forums I'm part of have a button that links directly to a post so I don't have to tell someone "Scroll down to ___'s 3rd comment" if I link them to something, because I'm too lazy to pull up the View Source page.

If you look just above and to the left of the post's text (above and to the right of the author box, basically where your avatar is looking), you'll see a small page icon. If you've seen that post it's white, if not it's yellow-orange-ish. This icon also happens to be a permalink to the post it's attached to. Copypasta. For example, your post is

You can fake it by fudging the "start=" bit at the end of the URLs for the 2nd and subsequent pages. E.g. the 4th post on the play test thread is:
