Identifying posts

Quote from Bsulli:

just place the cursor over the post you want to refer to and right click and select properties than highlight the url and right click again and copy.

That takes you to the thread, but not the post.

DB, yes I can do it manually but it is a pain and takes a bit of time. An easier way would be nice IMO.

Here is how you can do it manually:

1) Right click on the main thread (copy shortcut) and get the URL. For instance if you click on your journal thread, you will get:

"http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=29005"

2) Go to the post you want to reference in that thread. Have your cursor hover over the edit/delete key and make note of the post number. For this example let's use 447215

3) Take the URL from above and add the following to the end of it:

&postid=447215#post447215

So the URL that should get you to a question by Jack Daniel that you wish to reference in your Price Volume thread is:

"http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=29005&postid=447215#post447215"

Finally, here is the link:

http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=29005&postid=447215#post447215

This is a manual method for getting the job done. There may be a better/easier method that someone will clue me in on. (I'm all ears here).
 
I appreciate the response, TriPack. It isn't that I can't do it or don't know how. I asked the original question because it seemed to me that there had to be an easier way. Apparently there isn't. But you don't learn if you don't ask . . . :p
