Roadster Owners Club

[quote=MightyMouth;38523]Handy,

Rather than a whole new thread, why not an announcement post pointing to the first post about the club?

/QUOTE]

MM......good idea, i take it you mean a link to the relevant post showing the discussions that were held at stoneleigh?
As Deezee has pointed out the info has been hidden within this thread, maybe its due to the popularity of the whole idea.
If so then thats a good solution to a highlighted problem,

Would you be kind enough to create that link please Mighty Mouth ?

cheers

There's no need for a Bespoke site, there's content engines out there that will do all you want and more

Keith,

How did you make it go straight to the post and not the start of the thread?

I started to think I was getting good at creating links, that put me back in my box.

Haha, there are several ways but the easiest is to look in the upper right corner of the post and find the number, in this case it shows #125. That number is a link to the post but if you use that link it will only show that post and not the rest of the thread, the trick is to alter that URL.

If you look at the URL for the post it is "http://www.haynes.co.uk/forums/showpost.php?p=37541&postcount=125"

The bit after the PHP? is the important bit. p=37541 is the global forum post number and the &postcount=125 is the thread post number which adds the number in the upper right corner. This makes it link only to that post without the rest of the thread.

If you replace the &postcount=125 with &post=37541 so the link looks like "http://www.haynes.co.uk/forums/showpost.php?p=37541&post=37541" that will make it go to the the post within the thread.

If you leave off the &post=37541 so the link looks like "http://www.haynes.co.uk/forums/showpost.php?p=37541" it will do the same as if you leave the &postcount=125 except it won't show the post number in the upper right corner.

Does that make any sense at all?

Edit:

Actually I just noticed the real easiest way is to click the number in the upper right then on the page that opens copy the link above that number that says Thread: such and such

[twinturbo]

hover over the post number on the right of the post
