Even this does not work:

Is it because I'm not linking to the top thread?
Okay so the problem here is the way UBB handled things. The problem is they used the same script to refer to threads and posts without an easy way to know via URI string which they were doing. So for Balbarians posts above they work because there is a reference to the thread. For your's it won't work because your referring to showflat to a post, not a threadid. Posts are supposed to use a different script name (I think it's showthreaded). I am going to on individual posts next but a direct link to a post using showflat is just going to be broken.
