so the way to link to a particaular post is to use the format: [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?postid=ZZZZZZ#postZZZZZZ](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?postid=ZZZZZZ#postZZZZZZ) with “ZZZZZZ” being replaced by the post number one can find by passing one’s cursor over the “quote” button at the bottom of the post. Pretty cool, eh? And to make the link show up as a particular word or words, use the UBB code to do so. ---
