Let's have a nice example to test.
I have just copied a non-permalink to the 31st article in the thread (by my current posts-per-page setting the first article on page 2) of
BAUT Banned Posters Log.
BAUT banned/suspended posters log
PHP Code:
http://www.bautforum.com/596691-post31.html
It's by ToSeek and contains "MikeT banned (for a week) for anti-religious rant formerly located here."
I will now change my posts-per-page settings a few times and capture different permalinks to what should be the same article (but predictably may not actually take you there).

They should all lead to the same article. They don't. (But, since those are all the possible choices for the setting, at least one of them will work for everyone.)
