I would like to point someone to a specific post within a thread for a pointer.

How can I create a link to a specific post in a thread?

I do not see anything I can click to create me a unique URL to a specific post (not just to the thread).

Just typing or pasting in the address won't work??

The button that you require is 8th from left and will produce a link like this. Click here

Type or paste the URL in the top dialogue box and type the text you want readers to see in the lower box.

If you don't want to use the button you can type the BB code (leave out the blanks) [url ] http://www .silverwing600.com/tips-on-using-this-site-f8/how-to-create-link-to-specific-post-in-thread-t497.htm [/url ]

or [url = http://www .silverwing600.com/tips-on-using-this-site-f8/how-to-create-link-to-specific-post-in-thread-t497.htm] Click Here [ /url ]

Bill,

It is early and I thought I'd look at this problem. I open a new window and find the post I want to link to then just copy the address. And then paste that copied address into the new message I'm posting or responding to.

This is not a simple solution, but it works.

Okay I tried this and - the result is - it works, but the link does not open a new browser window. So web location awareness is a must.

And, of course you knew this and were aware of how to post a link pointing to a specific post. I guess you are looking for a simple and easy way to capture the url for a specific post?

Well, well - I learned something new today. Thank you, it also works in IE7.

Right click on link has same options using Safari4 Beta as well.
