Original poster

how do I link to a specific post within a thread, not just the whole thread?

Don't particularly want to do it, but I've noticed that other people can...

OP posts:
New posts on this thread. Refresh page

You have done it. You just linked to my 20:09 post.

Click on a specific post further down the thread. It should bring up the whole thread but immediately after the thread has loaded the page should jump down to the post you have linked.

nope

when i go to threads i am on i see the title then the names of the posters

i clicked and did copy shortcut but that copies the whole link?

hmm what am i doing wrong!!

mumofdjandp · 26/02/2008 21:54

try again

SlightlyMadSecretSoundWinner · 26/02/2008 20:09

Underrated.

Go to a list of posts (e.g. search results or "threads I am on") - not a thread of posts.

Click on a posters name in the list (not on a thread). Use teh URL as the link. OR right click and select copy shortcut.

Nope. I cant do it

UnderRated · 26/02/2008 19:21

DOes this work?

SlightlyMadSecretSoundWinner · 26/02/2008 19:07

What broswer are you using? It is browser specific.

mumofdjandp · 26/02/2008 13:40

ah i dont get any of the copy link choices you see I am destined not to know this thanks for trying though !!!

mumofdjandp · 26/02/2008 13:39

right i am trying again

Indith · 26/02/2008 10:38

When I right click on the name I get open in new window, open in new tab, bookmark, save link, send link, copy link location, properties, send to, page info.

mumofdjandp · 25/02/2008 21:09

Hi when I right click I cant see
'copy link location'

where abouts is it

I am determined to get this!

mumofdjandp · 25/02/2008 20:57

trying now from one of my own threads

lets see if it works thanks!

Indith · 25/02/2008 19:46

I don't get what stealth was on about but:

Do a search for the thread or use the 'threads I'm on' so you have the thread in list format. Don't actually go onto the thread.

From list format when you click on someone's name it takes you to that post right? So instead of using a left click and entering the thread, right click and select 'copy link location'. This is the bit that you will then paste into your blah blah link

mumofdjandp · 25/02/2008 14:00

no i dont get it!

mumofdjandp · 25/02/2008 13:57

mumofdjandp · 25/02/2008 13:55

mumofdjandp · 25/02/2008 13:55

BumperliciousIsOneHotMother · 24/02/2008 08:54

Explain further stealth...

SlightlyMadSecretSoundWinner · 22/02/2008 16:30

That worked tho Oblov....or at least it linked to a mid thread post, whether it was the one you linked to or not is a different matter.

Oblomov · 22/02/2008 15:46

o.k. I am pants at this.

Oblomov · 22/02/2008 15:45

test2

StealthPolarBear · 22/02/2008 15:28

It doesn't work when you're linking to a profile page, just to a thread with posts on it

Oblomov · 22/02/2008 15:27

oh sugar !!
