More problems linking to existing threads.
I was trying to place a link in an Omni post(cannabis Destinations) to a thread in TravelBuzz about Amsterdam Coffeeshops. As usual, I used the 'email this thread' function to capture the url. but when the link is posted, it shows:

What am I doing wrong(if anything)?

Another solution
HigherFlyer, if you log into FT from www.flyertalk.com/forum, you'll see the urls for each thread in your browser window. I think you'll find it a handier solution than needing the extra step of starting the process of emailing a link.

Was it this thread:
"Best Coffeeshop in AMS?" -
http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=298695
The link to it works for me. Also, the "Email this Page" link worked as well:
http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/sendm...riend&t=298695
If you need to know what a link is, all you have to do is mouse-over it to see it in your browser's status bar. To copy the link to your clipboard (so you can paste it somewhere else), mouse-over the link and Right-Click (CTRL-Click on a Mac) and choose to copy the link from the options listed. Then you'll be able to paste that link into a post, email, etc.

When I click the link you just posted, I get the same error message again. All other links have worked for me, so I'm not sure why this one won't.

When you click the link and it loads in a new window for you, then errors, can you paste that link (from the new browser) here?
I don't know what to tell you about that link, as I can't duplicate the error here. In the meantime, you can try clearing out your browser's temporary files/cache and restarting it, to see if it clears anything up.
