How do I link to a specific post within a thread?

[immortal_zeus]

I've tried numerous times, but I can't figure out the syntax. Instead of linking to a thread, I'd like to link to a specific post within that thread.

Some help please?

You can use this template...

http://www.dvdtalk.com/forum/showthread.php?postid=XXX#postXXX

And replace the "XXX" with the postid you see when you put your cursor over the "quote" icon as if you were going to quote the post.

Thanks, I just now figured it out. :)

And, what's that little page icon in the upper left? http://ads.kleinman.com/images/posticon.gif It says "Old Post," but doesn't click anywhere.

That's what he's talking about -- the 'quote' icon.

It's not supposed to. It indicates if that's a post that's been made since your last visit or not.

Thanks, X. I hadn’t noticed that before.

I have actually been doing this the hard way... by going to the post I want to link to, clicking on Profile, doing a search for all posts by the user, finding that post, right-clicking, selecting Properties and then copying the URL.

Whew! Probably much easier to follow X's advice.

Don't feel like the Lone Ranger. I was doing pretty much the same thing.
