Thread Linking FYI

This may be a welcome to last week but I thought I would post it up anyway.

I've been off work crook this week and hence reviewing a lot of the rig builds. I noticed people have called out the post # without a link which makes it a little complicated to find a particular post.

Anyway I realised you can actually use the post count # as a link. To do this in IE, right click the post count # and the select 'copy shortcut' you can then paste that link into your message.

For example, to review AJs modified from recovery points click here http://www.pradopoint.com/showthread...l=1#post292190

I hope this is useful.

You mean like this...#1?

Here's a bit more detail for those more visually inclined:

When you look at a post, look at the thread post link at the top right hand of the window:



In particular, at this hyperlink icon:



If you put your pointer over this link, and then 'copy link', you should be able to paste it straight into your post like this: #2

Or you can copy a thread link, same as above (ie MULTIPLE POSTS - how to respond to multiple quotes in ONE post), and also the post link (#1) if you want to be really tricky.

Another interesting feature, especially for those threads with heaps of posts, is to use the 'Display' function, which is situated at the top right hand corner of the window.

Click on 'Display' to get the following drop-down options:




If you select 'hybrid view', a new window will appear above the posts like this:




This window quickly lets you see through all the posts in the thread as well as seeing easily who has replied to whom. It automatically shows thread links as each time to reply to a post in a particular thread, it makes the link.

If you use this view, you will see that this post is linked to my previous post, given it is a follow-up post on site features.

You're welcome!
