I'm cutting directly from inside the thread. Pasting directly below after I erased the http:// that was down there because I copied it with the url from the thread.

How do you post a link to another post you made. In other words I want to start a thread that reflects back on a previous thread from a week ago and want to have a link to the old thread on my new one?

Thanks!!!!!!

See the link url box at the bottom of the post page? Put the url there, and use 'here's the thread I'm referring to' or some such thing as the link title.

If you mean how do you find the actual url of the thread in question, just look it up, and then copy it from the address bar of your browser.

I tired that but it didn't work it took me to the page the thread was on but not the actual thread. I'll try again, thank you for responding.

Modified for the following text.
I wanted copy the thread about the guy with the timer and post it on the NY board for them to see. But when I copy pasted the url from the thread to my post here it brings me to that page but not that thread, that's been my problem. Thanks again for respoding..... I love that thread, "I'm bringing a timer" lol

Make sure to click the actual thread, not just the page you see the thread appearing on. That should give you the exact url.

I feel all warm and stuff now
....except ladies just want me for my tech help and stuff
.....eh.

anyway....
here's the url Junior:
http://www.theeroticreview.com/discussion_boards/viewmsg.asp?MessageID=144089&boardID=12&page=1

copy that and paste it in the post you want to make.
Now...to maybe help in the future,
istead of just (left) clicking the first post of the thread,
try right clicking the thread / post title
and choose "copy shortcut" if in IE, or
or "copy link location"  if in Firefox or Mozilla.
Then just paste that into the Url link box.

Hope this helps.

His post was done on the classic site. I don't know how the messages are archived, but when I click onto his post there is no board page or post id. When you click on any post on that page the same address shows up in the address bar. Web addresses are designed to take a surfer to the site that is being searched for so every bit of identifying information about the site is included in the web address.

few minutes ago. I can post the link in the body of this post, as such;
http://www.theeroticreview.com/discussion_boards/viewmsg.asp?MessageID=54435&boardID=2&page=1

Or I can remove the http:// part of the link (because that part is already in the link URL box below) and post everything starting from the www. As below;

Damn, boring Friday nights are hellacious.
