Linking to threads

[Ego Eram Reputo]

The easiest way to link to a topic or thread on the new forum is with the TOPIC tags:

[topic="2932"]The Rules[/topic]

Produces a link like this: The Rules. This is generally simpler (and I think faster) than using the whole url.

(Thanks to Simon Brown for this tip!)

Good to know.

Since we're visiting the Other styles dropdown,

what do Post Snap Back, ntarget=, nlink=

accomplish?

317473[/snapback]

100[/snapback]

OK. That's what it does.

I like that one.

ACTUALLY, the easiest way is to click on the Post Number at the top right of each post. This'll produce a link similar to this:

Post Above Me

[member="Ego Eram Reputo"]

produces @Ego Eram Reputo

Another very useful tag! Thanks Simon.

Shame this doesn't also work with:

[user="48727-"]Me[/user]
and
[forum="7"]Plugins![/forum]

@Mike, good to know, unfortunately there are no post numbers shown when using the LoFi theme.

So use the regular theme.
