Forum Links

I want to post a link to another thread, but how do i get the address?

Go to the topic you want to link to.

Highlight the URL in the address bar of your browser

Copy it using ctrl+c and then click the http:// button above the text input area to enter the URL of the topic.

Hope that makes sense.

For a simpler explanation of inputting links, click on the BB Code Help link under the smileys on the page where you type in text when replying to a topic.

No,no no. I know how to do that but look up, there isn't an address bar. For example, how would I give someone a link to this thread?

Like that? Just as I explained before.

If not, then sorry, you've lost me.

you do have the address bar showing on your browser, right?

Dammit. You know howto do it but I guess I'm not explaining properly. As you are reading this, you don't see an address bar above(at least I don't) but when I clicked on that link I did. So how did you get the URL for this page?

Hmmm... very odd. No matter what page I look at on the forum, the address bar shows at the top of the browser... the only exception is when one of the popups that have more smileys or PMs open up.

All I can say (and it's just a guess) is that perhaps you have your browser configured so it doesn't normally display the address bar?

Try this:
Right click on your taskbar at the bottom of the screen.
Select toolbars> Address from the context menu.

The address bar should appear on your task bar. Can you see the URL now?

Mate just hover your mouse over the link,then right click the mouse then properties.Copy and paste the address in the post.You also done need to use the http button.

Hang on.. would I be right in guessing that you got a PM notification earlier and you've been using that window to surf the forum?

[sampson]

See?
