The New Sudoku Players' Forum

[Scott H]

I've seen several messages that link to other threads. I'd like to be able to do that. This is a test message I'm fiddling with doing that.

If the last word links to a thread "Help with Fiendish puzzle" in the Solving Techniques group, I succeeded. If not I could use some help in creating links.

Attempting to create that link [url]here[/url].

Hmm, no luck. Any help appreciated.

1. How do I get the URL of another thread? When I view a thread I only see "http://sudoku.com/" in my address bar, but nothing specific to the particular thread I'm viewing.

Can one link to a particular message in a thread, or only to the thread.

2. How do I "attach" (is that the right word?) a URL to a word like "here" in a message?

Thanks in advance.

use
[url=http://www.somewhere.com]Here[/url] (and make sure BBCode isn't disabled.)

Thanks! Still trying to figure out how to get the URLs for forum topics. I see them in my status bar (IE 6.0) as the cursor moves, but they don't show up in the address bar where I can copy them.

After a bit of fiddling, this seems to work: instead of navigating to a topic normally (by just clicking), right click on the topic and select "Open in New Window". The new window has the topic URL in its address bar.

Now a test, trying to link to another topic here.

Good, seems to work. Thanks!

if you start at www.sudoku.com/forums,
you'll see the Address Bar properly updated.


even more useful is the URL for a specific post - see Hamlette (2005.Aug.12)!!
right-click the little icon [ Posted: 2005.Aug.25 Thu ] and Copy Shortcut.

Thanks Pat! I got a specific post in the address bar last night, but wasn't sure how I got there. Very useful to know the clean way to do it. Thanks!

new links in the Forum -- quite annoying!
old said "forums"
new say "boards"
all the old links now fail

Hi all,

The broken links within the forum threads have been updated and should be working.

We apologize for the inconvenience - we recently moved the forum - and inadverently broke old links.

Please let us know if you have any issues and we'll try to respond as quickly as possible.

Thank you,
RealSudoku

All Sudopedia links to Players' Forums topics are now broken.
Can that be fixed?

This site was set up by Ruud, you could sent him a PM or you could create an account at Sudopedia and edit each link yourself.

IMO the responsibility for assuring old links remain useable lies with the party that changes its internet address.
