Thanks Jackson, I can handle that. But how do you know the number? In the example you used 350442. Even when I followed the link in your example I did not see that number anywhere.
Thanks,
Bob
Hi Bob,
Here's the easiest way: Move the mouse pointer over the 'quote" button and then read the post number in the Status Bar at the bottom of your browser window.
Thanks,
Jackson

Greeting everyone,
I appreciate all the input, but you guys are doing this the hard way.
To like to another report, all you need to do is enclose the report number with [post] and [/post] tags.
For example, here's a link to one of my favorite reports: #350442
http://www.argentinaprivate.com/forum/showthread.php?p=350442
Which I entered as: [ post ]350442[ /post ]
Obviously with extra spaces between the brackets so that you can see the code.
Thanks,
Jackson

AllIWantisLove,
I am glad that things are working now. Jackson has created an extensive primer on vB code list. Use the following link. This is a very handy reference guide, whenever, you have trouble posting. I sent you a PM earlier. Ignore it. Looks like you solved your problem.
Bandy.

Posts: 746URL Hyperlinking
Thank you Bandy. You meant URL not url, right? In any event URL worked for me whereas url did not.
Thanks, Bob.

I think that I followed the advice given but you can see the result in the Test Messages thread. The url was always replaced by the single digit 0 whether enclosed in the html tags or not. I should have used square brackets right? Or is there a character mapping problem and I should have used angle brackets. Maybe I'll try another experitment. Here's the url I was trying to reference (except that I've expanded it by inserting blanks so that it won't get replaced by a 0): h t t p: / / w w w. A are g e n t I n a p are I v a t e. C o m / f o are you m / s h o w t h are e a d. P h p? P = 3 4 7 4 5 3 # p o s t 3 4 7 4 5 3

AllIWantisLove,
I understand that you want to put a web link in your message.
Click the Edit button of the message, then inside the message box type the URL and put the code {url} before the web address and at the end put {/url}. Please make sure that you replace the { with [ and } with]. The address will appear as a link.
To save typing the URL, I generally open the web page, copy the address bar and paste it in the message box.

Posts: 746How to post a link to a message
I just posted a message to the "Telephone Issues" thread in Living in Argentina. Then I discovered a Vonage thread which my message would also pertain to. How can I determine the link to my message in Telephone Issues and what kind of markup do I have to put around it so that it shows up as a link?
(Couldn't find anything in the FAQ when I searched for "thread link".
Thanks, Bob
