First go to the post you want to link to. For convenience, it's sometimes easier to go there in a different window or tab. Then highlight and"copy" the exact address from the address bar of your browser. Make sure you get all the hidden stuff, because they're usually way longer than your address bar. Depending on your computer (??or browser??), if you click there once it'll highlight the whole thing, so you don't have to "drag" past the end of the address bar. Or you can usually "wrong click" on the link from the forum index and then hit "copy link location". Then just switch back to where you're replying and "paste" it where it goes in between the [/url] garbage.

So, clicking Here (according to your instructions) should take you to your post, correct? But what it actually does is take you to the page with the whole thread, not Jake's post. This is what I am wanting to know how to do.  |

Ok, i see what you're after. Sorry, I misunderstood what you were referring to with the whole 'post/thread' thing. I can't help with that one. I think since the individual post within a thread isn't actually a page by it's self, it's much more involved, and if you figure it out, I'd love to know as well.

I think there is a way, I have seen it done else where, but I have no clue.  |

It takes you to your first unread post...

It takes you to your first unread post... Does this board have that feature, or anything similar? Perhaps that would have to be enabled? The reason I ask is that such a feature would have to have some sort of a "flag" somewhere in the page at each post (yeah, I know that's not the right name for it) that would have to have a unique "ID" if not a proper "address". I'm guessing that it could be done if there were such a "flag" although it might take professional help since they're not visible. If there's not such a flag, I would pretty much think it couldn't be done, at least not in any practical sort of way. Or maybe I'm way off and should stick to fixing tow trucks? |

It could be done, but it would be an awfully large code. Way above my head, even  |
