So what is this new "link" feature... shall we figure it out

[salin]

and give it a test ride on this thread? Seriously I have no idea what it is or does... clues anyone?

1. I was wondering the same thing.

Whazzat?

2. I see...

it appears to make the rest of the thread go away so you only see the post itself - and then the normal - reply options show - guess it would cut down mislinking posts?

3. Exactly. When you want to link to a particular post...

...it can be very helpful in a thread with 50-300 responses.

:)

9. that helps (per the long thread no.)

because it sorta seems redundant - have to clik it, then reply... why not just do reply in the first place?

12. Wouldn't use it for replies.

But to link to a particular post I wanted to mention Elsewhere, say, in another thread, or in a post in the ATA forum.

4. I have no idea what it does. Any rules page

that tells what's it about? I must have missed when they started it b/c I don't recall seeing any info about it.

5. It's a button, click it and find out

:D

this doesn't have to turn into the beginning of 2001 :bounce:

6. I clicked it and it just condensed the page

Like I only saw the subject lines of each person's post

7. It's the same as clicking any replies in a thread, when not in View All

mode - only you don't have to go all the way back to the top

8. Ok, I get it.

Thanks.

11. ah... I didn't catch that

that is very helpful... just thought it was a way to not respond to the wrong post - and it seemed a bit redundant. This - per the big thread makes sense.

10. better than turning into the beginning of 1984

tho sometimes reading LBN I think that I am in the novel...
