I have a topic with hidden posts and several pages. Moderators can see the hidden posts but other users not. So moderator see 3 pages of posts and another users see only 2. When some user sends link to some post on page 2 for example he send a link with page number like this http:://forum/topic/page__st__20#entry1825833. When moderator go to that link he have another page because of hidden posts and cannot see the post. Same situation with links to quoted messages.

This is likely resolved with the new pagination in 3.4 but will check.

It isn't. It's still the same underlying issue (and this was brought up in another report recently). Whether it's st=20 or page=2, if I'm on a new page because I can see hidden posts that another user can't, the link is "wrong" for the person I sent the link to.

Other user suggested going back to ?view=findpost&p= to fix the problem.

I think this is the same thing.

Not exactly - this issue specifically is about the URL that is given when you click the post number in a topic. It might include page-2 if you are a moderator and are on page 2, but a regular user who can't see hidden posts might find that post on page 1, so the URL is not correct for him.

We can't revert back to the PID method as that was a disaster for SEO. I'll make it fail gracefully and redirect to the PID if the page is wrong.

Matt implemented a solution for this with the most recent update. The post number opens a modal box with a link that contains the pid in it, which will bring you to the correct place.
