To go to a particular post within a thread, you have to add a #msg<messageid> to the URL. To determine the message id of the post, you can look at the "Reply with quote" URL and find the quote= parameter and use that value. Maybe there's an easier way to determine the message id, but I don't know of one.
For example in this thread:
http://www.arcadecontrols.org/yabbse/index.php?board=7;action=display;threadid=11298
If I want to go directly to RandyT's first post (reply #5), I look up the message in the "Reply with quote" URL
(
http://www.arcadecontrols.org/yabbse/index.php?board=7;action=post;threadid=11298;quote=87461;title=Post%2Breply;start=0;sesc=a971cc5aba95e69e604cbbbdce1d223e
),
and I see the part that says quote=87461. Then I tack on #msg87461 to the URL for the thread, and I get
http://www.arcadecontrols.org/yabbse/index.php?board=7;action=display;threadid=11298#msg87461
,
which takes me directly to his reply.

Ah! I got everything but the #msg. I was trying #<msgnumber>, not #msg<msgnumber>
Thanks a ton!
