Blog templates have done this for some time, and I have noticed that apps like Twitter are doing it too.</p> <p>Thanks re: the profile pic. :-)&nbsp;I was sitting at my Mac&nbsp;and thinking that I really needed to update my profile picture when I noticed my own reflection in the glass table top. Selfie&nbsp;with the iPhone, et voilà! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linking-to-specific-post-within-a-thread#post-987655 Mon, 22 Jul 2013 16:55:57 +0000 Ornella 987655@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And it works :-D</p> <p>In another word, that is <b><i>exactly</i></b> what I was after. It never occurred to me that there was a link behind the time of the post.</p> <p>Thank you.</p> <p>p.s.<br />Fab new profile picture, btw.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linking-to-specific-post-within-a-thread#post-987654 Mon, 22 Jul 2013 16:54:20 +0000 Ornella 987654@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>linking to&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linking-to-specific-post-within-a-thread#post-982392">my 1st post</a></p> <p>linking to&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linking-to-specific-post-within-a-thread#post-987367">my second post</a></p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linking-to-specific-post-within-a-thread#post-987517 Mon, 22 Jul 2013 14:05:57 +0000 Greg 987517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I get it! And there is indeed an easier way. The reply time under each reply is also a link to that reply.&nbsp;</p> <p>For example, right now when I look at your reply just above this one it says "5 hours ago" underneath. If I right click on "5 hours ago" (control click on the Mac)&nbsp;I can choose "Copy Link Address" and it will copy the link to your reply to the clipboard.&nbsp;The text for the menu option will change depending on the browser. On Firefox it says "Copy Link Location", and on Safari it is "Copy Link".</p> <p>Then I can "paste" the link into my reply here:&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linking-to-specific-post-within-a-thread#post-987367">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....ost-987367</a></p> <p>Is that what you were looking for? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linking-to-specific-post-within-a-thread#post-987367 Mon, 22 Jul 2013 08:14:03 +0000 Ornella 987367@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here is my template:</p> <p>(Thread_Name)<b>?replies=(</b>number)<b>#post-</b>(Comment_Number)</p> <p></p> <p></p> <p>So in this thread:</p> <p>(Thread_Name) =&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linking-to-specific-post-within-a-thread">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....n-a-thread</a></p> <p>(Number) can be easily counted, this is a small thread.&nbsp;</p> <p>(Comment_Number) =&nbsp;987367.</p> <p>And so you get:&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linking-to-specific-post-within-a-thread?replies=3#post-987367">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....ost-987367</a></p> <p>to jump to this very comment directly.</p> <p></p> <p>It becomes more complicated and loses the point if there are a lot of replies over a few pages, or when I have to search through the poster's history for a specific comment -&nbsp;hence my question.&nbsp;</p> <p></p> <p>It's not something I'm dying to use, but in the past it was useful once or twice and I wondered if it can be done in a more elegant way.</p> <p></p> <p>If it's too complicated, please feel free to ignore my question.</p> <p></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linking-to-specific-post-within-a-thread#post-984256 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 21:10:27 +0000 Greg 984256@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ornella, can you elaborate a little on what you mean by "I keep a template in the file where I swap thread name and post"? I'm not sure what you mean by that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linking-to-specific-post-within-a-thread#post-982392 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 08:08:42 +0000 Ornella 982392@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Greg,</p> <p>There must be a simpler way to do this, right?</p> <p>At the moment I keep a template in the file where I swap thread name and post, but it's somehow too clunky, because it involves too many open windows to get the right post etc, so I sometimes think it's not worth it.</p> <p>Any quick recipe how to do this?</p> <p>Thanks in advance. </p>
