Posting Messages > Message Shorthand

You can post shorthand links instead of the long, ugly full URL in your browser. The shorthand links open in the same window, instead of opening a new one.

To post a link to a board:

If you go to this board, you see this link in the address bar - http://www.investorshub.com/boards/board.asp?board_id=16

The important thing is the number at the end. That's the unique board number in the database -- 16.

So, you take that number and combine it with #board-[number]

#board-16

To post a link to a message:

If you go to this message, you see this link in the address bar (look above!) - http://www.investorshub.com/boards/read_msg.asp?message_id=1181763

The important thing is the number at the end. That's the unique message number in the database -- 1181763.

So, you take that number and combine it with #msg-[number]

#msg-1181763

Note: The msg shorthand won't work by putting in the post number on that board. It needs the universal one that you see in the address bar of your browser.

Pretty cool, huh?
