How Do I Link to Another FT Thread?

I can't seem to do it on the new version. I.e. the link in my browser nerver changes from "http://www.flyertalk.com/".

Start from http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/ rather than www.flyertalk.com. You will then see the urls for each link.

You can also either do one of the following:
  • PC Users: Right-click the mouse to get the Properties that give you the actual URL of a specific FlyerTalk thread once you are in it.
  • Macintosh Users: Press the Control key while clicking on the thread once you are in it and choose This Frame --> View Frame Info.
Either method will allow you to access the actual URL of that FlyerTalk thread.

PC Users: If you haven't opened the thread, but see it as a link, you can right-click and select "Copy Link Location" (Mozilla/Netscape) or "Copy Shortcut" (IE) and then the full URL is in your clipboard. Much faster than going to the properties and then selecting and copying the URL.

Mac users can click with the command button held down, then select the Copy Link Location option from the menu, I believe. I don't have one in front of me to confirm that.

This will work even if you start from http://www.flyertalk.com/ and can't see the full URL in the Address Bar because of the frames.
