post # three...
“No idea why I’m not getting my hyperlink right. I’ll try again...”
When you want to link to a specific post (number) you can do it either of 2 ways.
The html way is to use the thread’s url and place at the end “?page=(the post number)#(the post number)”, like this:
URL: http://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2925515/posts
post #: ?page=17#17
So the whole thing then looks like this:
http://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2925515/posts?page=17#17
That’s the link back to your original post.
The second, much faster & easier method, is to navigate to the specific post, place your cursor on the number of that post and right click, then select “copy shortcut” in the pop-up menu.
Then you can paste it into your current post. To make sure it works, make sure it has a blank line both before and after the link.
Try it both ways and see which you like better.
