How to link to a post...

Here, anyone can post a link to a thread they particularly admire. This will enable location of such without having to trawl through all the forums Please give your post a very clear heading, probably the actual title of the original thread would be best in most cases. Then all you have to do is copy the url (all the text showing in the "address" bar of your browser) into the post.

How to link to a post...

#1 Post by erron » Tue Apr 26, 2005 11:04 am

Please don't cut and paste the whole original thread here, just add the link. Do this by:


1. Give your post a title. Make it a very clear heading, probably the actual title of the original thread would be best in most cases.
2. Then all you have to do is copy the url (all the text showing in the 'address bar' of your browser) into the post. For example, the text you want for this thread would be:

http://www.ozbow.net/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=9875

just click on the text in the 'address bar' in the header section of the page where the original post you want to link to is found. This highlights the text. Then press Ctrl and C keys on your keyboard together to copy. Click where you want the text to go in your linking post. Press Ctrl and V keys on your keyboard together, to paste the text.

Yeah, probably clear as mud to those new to computers. If so, just contact one of the Admin with the details and they will add the links for you.

Cheers,

Erron
