But is there an EASY way (a/k/a button) to create a link to the entire topic??It depends on what you mean by "creating a link."?Assuming you want something you can paste into a message, copying a string (like a URL) to the clipboard with a mouse click is possible, but it requires javascript to be enabled and may not work at all with some older browsers (pre-2016, it required Flash to be installed). Having said that,?I'm sure Mark is more up-to-date on such stuff than I am...sounds like a beta suggestion to me. If there is more than one message, I right-click on the "View All xx Messages in Topic" link below the message I'm reading and select "Copy Link Address" from the resulting browser popup. Not too terribly inconvenient. Hope this helps, Bruce -- The system Help is your friend.??/static/help |

KISS.? i'm just looking to create the link, regarless what I am doing with it.
Good trick to right-click, I hadn't thought of that.? But of course, if it's the initial post there is no "show all" button to copy the address.? Say, post an important msg I want to paste in another forum immediately, and make sure they end up at the topic, not the first post. There is a way to go to the 1st msg and then back to topics and yada?yada and end up with a browser url?such as your way: /g/groupname/topic/topicname/29188727? <-- topic number But I was looking for something do it quickly (and shorter) at the 1st posting: /g/groupname/topic/29188727 -k |

Ok, one can right click on the list of topics, copy the link address.
You end up with a link address: /g/GroupManagersForum/topic/permalink_to_topic/29189544?p=,,,50,0,0,0::recentpostdate%2Fsticky,,,50,2,0,29189544 Yuck. But can edit it down to this: /g/GroupManagersForum/topic//29189544 Convoluted.? Needs a "button"! |
