I am giving myself a trophy for this one: I just graduated to "addict"! (I know, Helen, I know - it's quality, not quantity, that counts!)

Might as well face it, I'm addicted to AWAD....

Let us go in peace to love and serve the board.

Welcome to the club!

Race you to the next grade, MG. Veteran, is it?

Actually I might take the laid-back Lukaszian approach and aim for Honorary Inchworm at this level (at least I'll say that after the fact )

Congrats, MG - and be assured that there is no cure nor therapy that's effective for this addiction - thanks the stars!

Ah, yes, mg. How well I remember my transition to addict
http://wordsmith.org/board/showthreaded.pl?Cat=&Board=medicine&Number=49209

Can anyone tell me why this link doesn't go directly to the post I'm referencing but only to the thread where the post is found? Anyway, mg, scroll down a ways until you find it and then say "Amen, sister"

How about Ahhhhhh. Men! Yes, of troy, I do. The address doesn't show on my computer unless I position my cursor over the edit or reply button and as soon as I move the cursor, it disappears and I can't cut and paste so I usually cut and paste a previously posted link and change the necessary info. What more should I do?

Edit: Yes, Dr. Bill, that's what I am really doing, copying, not cutting. Have you been studying nitpicking with Faldage, hmmmm?

Dear consuelo: I thought "cut" and "paste" was just for editing a document.
For URLs, I use "edit,copy,,,,edit,paste" I do not pretend to be authority.

thats interesting! what browser are you using?
most browsers will have an address window that you can click on, (highlight) and copy/paste.

to get to the exact post, you need all the info, thread number, (page # reply #, etc..) all that stuff that makes the screen go wide!

check your settings, and see if what is selected or not.
Setting (or Preferences) will usually can be found in a menu drop down.

have you tried clicking on edit to see if the full address pops into the address window?

on the contrary, you just need exactly what you have except change "showflat" to "showthreaded" (assuming that is indeed the number of the post that you want).
