I open two or more tabs in my browser so I can move back and forth to copy/paste

go to the tab with the thread you want to link to and copy the name of the thread,
go to the post you want the link in and paste the name
go back to the thread tab and copy the address
go back to the thread with the post
highlight the name
click on the hyperlink symbol
paste the address in the box and enter

the name is now a hyperlink

done!

Beware those fancy links are not going to work forever, they will work a bit longer if the true address is the hyperlink.
Any change in software of the host site will likely break the connection.
Look back at links of this type before any of the last changes and they are most often invalid.

 

Gonna give it a try.. here HRP

 

Eureka ,It worked! HRP

 

On this subject, many copy and paste the ULR at the top of the page when they link a thread. This has lots of letters and stuff and most times doesn't let one know what the thread is. When I post a thread link I copy and paste the thread title, It lets one know what the link is/about.

Also I have always hit the ctrl button and the letter C to copy, and ctrl button letter V to paste.
