Posting a link to a another post.
 

Hi:

I want to quote a post "as is". How can I post a link to another post? Thanks.

Hi,

Copy-paste the browser URL between [url]...[/url] tags

To link to this thread: [url=https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/lq-suggestions-and-feedback-7/posting-a-link-to-a-another-post-884769/]this thread[/url]

This thtead

Hope this helps.

1. Open the thread containing the post you want to link to; 2. click the post number in the upper-right corner of the post (see red circle in attachment); 3. copy the URL from the address bar of your browser; 4. insert the URL in your new post using the URL tags.

and what is that red and yellow icon in that screenshot on the left bottom, Alessandro?

He he! Good shot, Anisha! It is a gadget available to LQ mods... it is a shortcut to the "Give Infraction" page! :D

Joke - Didn't you had a tough time remembering the correct spellings of your full name when you were a kid ;)

Thanks a lot.

And what if I want to change the link name? For instance, to make it look as
This post instead of http://.......

You put the text between [url] tags, e.g. [url=http://foo]some text[/url].

I still am a kid! :) Beware I have a couple of namesakes out there but I am the only and unique original <my real name>. And maybe the youngest! ;)

Awesome! It works.
