referring back to old postsBefore we resign ourselves to verbal references alone, let's give this a try. Purely experimental, but would be nice if it works.
1. The following link should jump to Jo's starting post (
and they're off!) on this
pow-wow thread:
http://wordsmith.org/board/showthreaded.pl?Board=miscellany&Number=5932(same Board, same Thread)
2. This link should take you to shanks' posting in
Graduation, Part 2:
http://wordsmith.org/board/showthreaded.pl?Board=miscellany&Number=6634(same Board, different Thread)
3. And this one should take you to Jo's posting in
Food for Thought, under
Wordplay & Fun:
http://wordsmith.org/board/showthreaded.pl?Board=wordplay&Number=6635(different Board and Thread)
The first link may be slow if you don't already have a second browser window open, the other two should be more acceptable.
Now, if the url markup didn't automatically attach a
http:// to the beginning of links, we could skip the
wordsmith.org/board/ bit, which would
really shorten it. But perhaps it's acceptable as it stands?
If people could give these links a try and see if they work for them (the fact they work for me is no guarantee) it would be good. Then, if there's sufficient interest, I could provide more detailed instructions on how to set up such links with
relative ease.
