How to link to a specific post within a thread?

[roger2]

I know how to create and save a link to a thread in the typical way.

But I know it is also possible to link to a specific post inside a thread.

How is this done? I would like to know how to create a link that opens to a specific post, not just the first post in a thread. Thanks...

Click the post number. Next to the Like link.


That gives you the sharing menu:



Copy and paste the whole link in that top field wherever you want it. I use Ctrl-A (select all) followed by Ctrl-C (copy) to copy the entire link.

Or, use one of those social media links to share the post with your service(s) of choice. Clicking the orange "+" will bring up the AddThis overlay with over 100 services you can share the post on.




Finally, you can also use a shortcut: right-click the post number to copy the URL to your clipboard.

Awesome Wildcat! Another mystery solved. Thanks for the thorough explanation.

No problem.

I've been working with the forum software ever since it was in beta release (prior to version 1.0), and currently manage and/or admin a handful, so I'm full of all sorts of what I sometimes call "Stupid XenForo Tricks".

Is there a simple way to save one of those post-specific links as a FireFox bookmark?

I have (far too many) AK threads saved, organized by topic, and currently must record the relevant post number in the name I give to the link, which is a bit tedious. Making a bookmark to a specific post would streamline this task.

BTW, I like that audio rig in your avatar. I'm guessing it doesn't have a remote?

Nevermind, I found the BookMark link in the context menu (R-Click) of the post number. So I'm good to go! thanks again...

Not unless I convince Wilma to change sides for me.
