Pointing to a thread in a post

[pwabrahams]

What's the best way to construct a reference to a post within another post?

Re: Pointing to a thread in a post

I right moused on the title of your message #1 ("Pointing to a thread in a post") and selected "copy link location" get the link URL in order to place it in this message.

I can insert it in at least two ways

First between "[ U R L ]" and "[ / U R L]" (spaces added to avoid parsing)

Or, I can do it this way.
by
"[ U R L = http://someurllink.com ] this [ / U R L ]" (spaces added to avoid parsing)

Anything specific to threads?

I already knew about the general method you explain, but I wondered if there was anything specific to citations of other posts.

In other words, is there something like a tag similar to the [url] tag? That's what I was looking for.
