Sure. I try to teach about this often - - but it can't be mentioned often enough.<BR><BR>Every thread has a unique URL ("web address"). It NEVER changes. You can get it by right clicking onthe header (on the lefthand column), then "copy shortcut" - - or copy link location in Netscape.<BR><BR>This puts onto your "clipboard" - - you don't immediately see anything. I did that for this thread before I started this particular post. You can insert it anywhere with Control-V.<BR><BR>For this thread the URL is<BR><BR>http://www.fodors.com/forums/pgMessages.jsp?fid=2&tid=1347324&numresponses=24&s tart=0<BR><BR>You can actually shorten this by deleting everything from "&numresponses on, like so:<BR><BR>http://www.fodors.com/forums/pgMessages.jsp?fid=2&tid=1347324<BR><BR>Citing the URL for a URL means another reader can always find it, topped or not. I also frequently top, as I figure that a lot of people don't understand what this is all about.<BR><BR>There was a time that this forum supported URL's as hot links, but it was "undone" just a few weeks after it started. I sure wish they would bring it back - - even if only for URLs linked directly to the fodors.com site.<BR>
