Simple steps to get URL links of your posts

[tranthidung]

I commented in a thread, Proof of authentication, in which OP asked for steps to get link of post to fill it in Proof of Authentication post when campaign required.

I made a comment there to answer.

Personally, I get url link of my post by these steps:
- Making post, like this one.
After click on post button, and post made, you will see url link with xxxxxx.new#new at the end.


To get url link of post, you have to do second step.
- Clicking on post title, then web browser will be directed to exact url link of this post.
Post title is here:


Link I get for this post after clicking on post title is: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5179810.msg52308293#msg52308293

For old posts, not newly published ones, doing only the second step to get url link.

To avoid the post burried by shit posts and forgotten over time, I decided to make this thread.

Which types of links you want to get here, in forum?
Three types, in my opinion:

• Newly published posts' links
• Old posts' links
• Topics' links

Method #1: Newly published posts' links

Personally, I get url link of my post by these steps:
- Making post, like this one.
After click on post button, and post made, you will see url link with xxxxxx.new#new at the end.

For old posts, not newly published ones, doing only the second step to get url link.

Method #2: Old posts' links
There are two ways to do it:
- My second step above: Clicking on post title, then web browser will be directed to exact url link of this post.
- Right click on posts's ordinal number inside threads > Copy link address (guide given by @stomachgrowls)

For some visuals


You can also click that link and copy from the url bar.

Method #3: Topics' links
Same steps above, but there is one note for you. If you want to make your threads' link shortly. You should do the following step.
For this thread, after publishing, I will see an URL link like that:

If you click on first post in your thread, you will get that link:

Unfortunately, it is link to OP of your thread, not your thread's link, and it is a long one.

You will get exact thread's link if you get link as described in the attached image

Then you will get exactly what you want.

It will help you if you want to put so many threads in your signature space, then you will have to deal with character limitations.

I also think you should differentiate between thread's link, OP link of your thread, and post link.

Other than clicking the post/comment number, you can simply hover your cursor to the reply title (I don't know how to call it exactly), right click then select copy link address.

In the POA thread example, right click on the "Re: Proof of authentication"

[tranthidung]

It is personal option, you can choose to do left click, and use Ctr C & Ctr V; or right click and Click on "Copy link address".
There are a few ways, and people choose to use their prefered one.
I have never used the second one.  

You made a point.

Another method is, when you open your profile summary page, you can see "Show the last posts of this person." where you can click and open all your posts and the links to your posts.

Below is the screenshot for the same -

This is a different matter. OP is simply discussing how to get the link of a specific post and not links to all your post.

Hey guys,

I don't know you are real users or spammers but please don't post as "Thank you/Thanks, ie." because those posts considered as spam AFAIK.
I appreciated your compliments if you are real users, as being said it is kind of rule violation. If you think my thread is helpful, bookmarking it for later reference.
If you are real users, it's time to read rules: Unofficial list of (official) Bitcointalk.org rules, guidelines, FAQ

1. No zero or low value, pointless or uninteresting posts or threads. [1][e]
< snip >
1. Such posts as "SELL SELL SELL", "I agree", "+1", "Support", "Watching", "Interesting", "LOL", "SCAM", "LEGIT", "FAKE", other one word posts, posts consisting mostly of swearing, quote pyramids, useless introduction threads, threads about a topic already recently discussed in several other threads.
