[quote:MagiChristmas:MV84NjM1NTJfMTMzNzUyNDBfRjMzMUEwRjU=] Procedeure to construct a direct link to any post. 1) Hit quote for on the post you wish to create a direct link. You shoud see something like this: (it will start with an h) jttp://www.godlikeproductions.com/bbs/reply.php?messageid=684375&page=5"e=13374261 Now you have all the information needed to form the direct link. 2) copy and paste this jttp://www.godlikeproductions.com/forum1/messageMESSN/pgN#POSTN 3a) replace MESSN with 684375 3b) replace N with 5 3c) replace POSTN 13374261 [b]Use your numbers from step 1[/b], not the ones in this example! 4) replace the leading j with an h so it starts with http. 5) cut and paste the the fabricated URL into a NEW browser window and hit enter. You should see the page load then quickly scroll to show the correct post. This procedure will also work on your own posts without having to mess up the time stamp. The first example links to a post by EVE_4000Bc :sun: Information from the quote URL jttp://www.godlikeproductions.com/bbs/reply.php?messageid=684375&page=5"e=13374501 http://www.godlikeproductions.com/bbs/reply.php?messageid=684375&page=5"e=13374501 Was used to construct an URL directly to Eve's post. jttp://www.godlikeproductions.com/forum1/message684375/pg5#13374501 http://www.godlikeproductions.com/forum1/message684375/pg5#13374501 For your own posts it's much easier to save the direct URL when you first post it, or edit it if you don't car about the time stamp. If you want to make life easier for others that wish to link directly to your post then you can edit your original entry by pasting in the direct URL. Direct link to this post http://www.godlikeproductions.com/forum1/message863552/pg1#13375240 click quote to copy the url. This will be my Last log entry for a while. Time2 :bar: :bee: :q: [/quote]

Tips for improving the GLP experience.
Direct Link to my previous post on this thread
(not applicable to this Original Post aka OP)
Direct links are one technique to enable more effective communication on the fringe of sanity aka GLP
You haven't really flown 'till you've pushed the envelope.
-- Author unknown.
Abreviations and Symbols such as aka = etc
are others.
4me
= Acknowledge and Appreciate a Higher Power.
Example of a direct link:
Glenn Beck asks the Ghandi question:
Thread: GOD IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! AMEN!!! (Page 6)
Read on for more direct links and more importantly how to create and use them for good effect.
Here's a simple example:
What is a "one of a kind" way to catch a silly wabbit
.
Sure you could link to the page with the answer
Thread: What is a "one of a kind" way to catch a silly wabbit?
Or you could link directly to it.
Thread: What is a "one of a kind" way to catch a silly wabbit?
Here is how to create a link to one of your posts:
After you click "Post" an URL is generated and displayed. Right Click in the address bar at top of your browser and chose "copy" from the little drop down menu.
Now you can paste this URL and acess it directly.
Keep a log by pasting the direct links into MS notepad.
Create a thread by pasting direct links to posts by subject with title.
If you can edit posts then this thread can remain quietly in background until you update it sufficiently to warrant a bump.
This can be like a table of contents that will allow quick access to all the information that you post on GLP.
The advanced search feature will show which threads a particular user and/or member hast posted to. But trying to locate the actual posts can be a real pain on threads of more than a few pages.
Does anyone know how to create a direct link to posts other than your own?
Please think about and post more tips on how to improve that which is already awesome.
