For which I apologise ... and I think this is the best place to ask it.

Its about html markups.

I've worked out (yep prob about 15 years after everyone else) how to link to a thread and show it as a piece of covering text with the name not a piece of code.

What for the life of me I can't work out is how to do the same to a specific post ... just I'm trying to add a few TOCs to some of my AARs.

thanks ... bows head in shame :eek:o at such a level of ignorance

Hmm if you mean doing doing this then all you have to do is :

[*url=http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showpost.php?p=10808822&postcount=1]text[/url] (without the *)

How you get the http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showpost.php?p=10808822&postcount=1 is by right clicking on the post number on the top right of the post and clicking 'copy link location' or 'copy address location' depending on your browser . If that's what I mean , please do let us know so that we can be of more help :D
 
many thanks ... I was trying all sorts of combinations but thats exactly what I was trying to achieve.:)

If you want to show the entire thread with this post at the top change the "showpost" in the link to "showthread" [*url=http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?p=10808822&postcount=1]text[/url]

good luck!
 
How do/Can you link to a certain point of an update?

OK I am asking because in my AAR I am doing a sort of history book summary of what transpired during the game. In the summary I have links to the updates in which certain events transpired. What I really would like to do is somehow link it so that when you click the link you don't get the beginning of the update instead you get like the middle or another part. Is there any way to do that?

If you don't get what I'm asking let me give you an example:

Lets say I am summarizing the events of June 1941 in my summary. During June a naval battle took place at the Gulf of Bomba. In my summary I linked the text to the corresponding update but when you click it you start at the top. The battle doesn't start until roughly the midway point of the update. Is there anyway to make it so that when you click the link your brought to like the halfway point of the linked post?

Thanks!(If you still don't get it go to the UK aar in my sig and go to the very last update, you'll see what I'm talking about).
 
Merged the threads and changed thread title as this will likely answer the question (and is one I have often, myself. ;) )
 
The closest thing you ask for are "anchorlinks" used by the libraries. They do exactly what you ask except, IIRC, it is only on that page...so unless your AAR fits onto one page...I'm not sure this is right for you.

Anyways, it goes something like this

[*anchorlink=anchor1]Title of link[/anchorlink]

[*anchor=anchor1]What I want linked[/anchor]

EDIT: Now that I think about it, you could probably do some fancy URL linking such as "http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?t=352182#anchor3". Maybe if you add #[anchorname] at the end of the URL, you will get the desired result.

Seems complicated lol. I'll give it a shot though. Thanks a lot.
