bbcode "quote"

I like the way this forum handles the "quote" tag:

http://defendingthetruth.com/political-forums.php

If you look at an active thread, you will see the quotes link back to their source.  Their source looks like this:

[quote=bob;654321]blah blah[/quote]

where 654321 is the post ID.  That's how they link.  We don't have a unique post ID, so I propose:

[quote=bob;4321#p3]blah blah[/quote]

where 4321 is the thread ID and 3 is the post ID in the thread.  This is designed just to be appended to the thread URL.

Since we won't have the threaded view in Blasma, I think these back links would be nice.  What do you think?

I think this is okay. The fact that we don't have a post ID makes your suggestion more cluttered. it may be a better idea to use a simple separator, for example:
[quote=bob|4321|p3]blah blah[/quote] 
You can implement this and see what separators you prefer.
