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

Right you need to use the search function (or threads you are on) to find the post - not just view it on a thread.

It you click on teh posters name of hte relevant post the URL you go to will link directly to teh post of that poster.

You could also right click the post in teh search results and select "copy URL to clipboard" or some simialr comand.

Think yourslef lucky. When I asked LL this Q she teased me for hrs before telling me.

SlightlyMadSecretSoundWinner · 22/02/2008 14:43

this should be a post by KatyMac from the threads I am only list.

The right click comand is "copy shortcut"

It was K999 on the over 50s shagger thread.

Thanks SMS and if I see that pesky wabbit around, I shall link her to your post on this thread and throw a lettuce at her or something

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

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.
