Hello, Those-in-the-Know,

I need instructions on how to place, in a post, a link to another post.  I haven't been able to find instructions in the Forum, though I see other members doing so.  Paco2004 recently posted links by writing "see this, this, and this"...very neat-- how did he do it?  Other versions of a link to another post say "see post (number)".  I used to know how to do it on the old forum where threads had numbers, but how is it done now?

To add a url, click on the icon next to the numbering (1-2-3) button.

Hi Julielai

Such a mellifluous name.

I managed, however, to be confounded by your instruction.  I do not see a 'numbering button' on a post, let alone an icon next to it.  What I do see on a given post-- in the upper right corner of the blue bar--is a post number.

You mean you don't have a toolbar with a bunch of buttons on it?

It's this one:

Typed in  a hurry yesterday. Sorry

Got it now.  Thank you.  I was not looking in the 'Reply to an Existing Message' window.  Do you think there should be a clue offered in FAQ?

BUT...before I officially try this in a post...clicking on the icon brings up a window with two boxes, one saying 'Type' and one saying 'URL'.  If I paste the URL from the post I want to be a link, it inserts the entire URL.  How do I get it to be posted in the form I mentioned above?

Just paste the url to the url box.  Be careful not to duplicate the http:// part.

Actually, Julielai, I clicked on 'Formatting Guide', next to 'Emoticons' and used the BBCode Guide.  But I still wonder how Paco2004 Post:117126 did the this, this, and this.

This is the code he used: Look [*post=***]this[*/post], [*post=91623]this[/*post], [*post=57904]this[*/***]

Get rid of all the *.
