TIP: How to URL/Link to a Specific Message within a Thread.

[PeteF]

I have to say vBulletin is the best!
I just discovered another useful feature that I'd like to share.

Did you ever want to reference a URL/link to a specific message in a thread?

Here's how....

1.) First go to the thread with the message you want to reference.
Make a mental note of the number of the mesage within that thread.
Example... #5

2.) Copy the URL/link to your message as you normally do by using
copy & paste functions.

Example... http://www.kickenhardware.net/forum/showthread.php?t=3527

3.) Now simply add the message NUMBER prefixed with # to the end of the URL/link.

Example... http://www.kickenhardware.net/forum/showthread.php?t=3527#5

Now when someone click the link it will take them drectly to
the message you want them to read within the thread.

NOTE: If the URL/link you copied already has a # designated,
simply remove the trailing characters up to the # , and
insert your message number.

Example...

Change from:
http://www.kickenhardware.net/forum/showthread.php?t=3527#3527

Change To:
http://www.kickenhardware.net/forum/showthread.php?t=3527#5


vBulletin has it all!
