alan0043 Posted November 7, 2016 Report Share Posted November 7, 2016 Hi Everyone, I have a few questions about adding a link in a thread. I want to refer to another thread in the thread that am I writing about. How do I go about this ? Just to let everyone know that I think that a computer make a good paper weight.

NeverEasy Posted November 7, 2016 Report Share Posted November 7, 2016 http://www.rvnetwork.com/index.php?showtopic=125479 This is a test. This is what I did: Click on hdt at the top. Right click the thread Click on "copy link location" , and pasted (Ctrl-V or right click on new post and select paste) it here. Else, if you are in the thread you want to reference: Go up to the top and highlight the link you are in. Right click and select "copy". Go to the post you want it referenced in and paste it there. http://www.rvnetwork.com/index.php?showtopic=125479 Chet Chet & Deb '01 Volvo 660 w/ Smart '19 Forest River Columbus 320RS 5th wheel 2022 Chev 2500HD Long Bed Retired CWO4, USN and federal service Electronics Tech/Network Engineer/Welder/Machinist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skp51443 Posted November 7, 2016 Report Share Posted November 7, 2016 If you want to link to a specific post in a thread, not just the thread you can do that too. Look in the top right of the post for the post number, something like: #1 or #10. Right click on it and select "copy link location" paste that into your post like this: http://www.rvnetwork.com/index.php?showtopic=125507#entry870274 These are the types of link you can use to point someone to another spot in these forums: Post link: http://www.rvnetwork.com/index.php?showtopic=125507#entry870274 Topic link: http://www.rvnetwork.com/index.php?showtopic=125393 Forum link: http://www.rvnetwork.com/index.php?showforum=3 First rule of computer consulting: Sell a customer a Linux computer and you'll eat for a day.

After I right click the thread, there is no words that say " copy link location". Using idea #2, the only thing that happens is the title is pasted but with no link. Any ideas what is going on, Al 2012 Volvo VNL 630 w/ I-Shift; D13 engine; " Veeger " Redwood, model 3401R ; 5th Wheel Trailer, " Dead Wood " 2006 Smart Car " Killer Frog " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeverEasy Posted November 7, 2016 Report Share Posted November 7, 2016 Did you try Stan's method? You can link to this post by right click the # of the post at the top right. If you are right clicking and not getting the selection to "COPY LINK LOCATION", it might be a browser (IE, Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, etc) , issue. Which one are you using?

NeverEasy Posted November 7, 2016 Report Share Posted November 7, 2016 http://www.rvnetwork.com/index.php?showtopic=125507#entry870292 I tried Edge, Firefox, and IE. There are small differences is each. This one, IE, made me use "copy shortcut". Edge said "copy link".
