Is it possible to create a hyperlink within a message on the boards? Thanks!

Yes, it is! Here's one to my profile.

There's a pretty full description of what you can do in this FAQ and the link I used looks like this <a href="/talktopic.php?topic=1400" >this FAQ</a>

Note: amended following mangaroo's post below.

With the introduction of international LT domains, using relative links (i.e., <a href="/talktopic.php?topic=1400">) is a courtesy that keeps all users on the LT version of their choosing.

Bumping this just so I can find it without lots of Googling.

Why not just bookmark this page?

or star it?

@lilithcat: I'd probably forget I bookmarked it, or forget where to find it in my bookmarks.

@MarthaJeanne: Well, I either didn't know about starring or I've forgotten about it. I can't find any information about what starring does through search, so I will try it out and see what happens.

Ah I see, I was a bit baffled since I assumed that starring a post would enable you to find it in some way, but I couldn't find any "your starred posts" link anywhere. But now that I've starred a topic a link has appeared! A very useful feature!

>5 Akiyama: I'm now curious as to how to "reply" within a thread to previous post, as I've seen some other people doing. So this is an experiment.

Oh, it worked!
