… Link to a particular post in a thread? I see the URL & post # when I post but how do I go get the URL to someone elses post that I want to link to?

Is that in the FAQ? I better go look first… Nothing there, but maybe with the ‘quote’ button, that brings up an URK, gonna go try…

Is this the correct way or the easiest way?

Here is a random post for the test…

I will now leave, aren’t you glad? But I will return to see it it worked. Seems clumsy for some reason…

Just gave me a reply window with that post linked. I want to have the whole thread come up with the particular response centered in the window. How do I do that?

CatBiker, do the following:

Hover your pointer over the “quote” button, and note the post id number. We’ll use 1000111 for now.

The following url should work:
