Idiot Guide Please!

[caz]

Can someone tell me (in idiot language lol ) how to link a thread to a post Can't seem to sus it out ;D

I usually use the quick message box at the bottom of a thread to reply, should I click on the reply button instead? etc.....DOH!

With "reply" it is indeed easier.

Than you can add the URL tag bu clicking on .

This will add the following tags: and [ /url] (without the spaces).
You can also type these tags in the quick message box at the bottom.

To link a thread in your post you have to type or paste the url of that thread between those tags.

Most of the times it will also work without using the url tags, when there is http:// in it.

The url of a thread can be found in the address area of your internet browser. Like the url of this thread is:
gerbilforum.proboards21.com/index.cgi?board=forum&action=post&thread=1147700908&page=1.

I hope it is clear now, and if not, don't hesitate to ask again!

Hello

Think I've got it now but I am right in saying that I have to minimise the page I'm working on and go into the forum again to get the link address? or do you go backwards and forwards on the brower buttons?
