As things change daily and weekly lately, so does my understanding of the software, so what I said last week might not be what I know this week. However--I won't say that again!! |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: You posted to someone: FWIW, all pages on the forum now stand alone, meaning you can copy the URL at the top of the page and use it as a link. This cannot be said of the message area, certainly not of the admin area, and perhaps not of other areas/pages. For example, posting a link using the url for reading all new messages is a VERY bad idea. Why? Because what the user sees when clicking such a link in a message is not what the person actually pasting the link into a message is seeing. The results of read all new are different for every user on every visit. The ONLY message link that can be safely used in messages is of the same format as the hot discussions links on the home page. It is a read thread link. |
And FWIW, it depends on whether I said that in FF or MEF. In Firearms the users are far more likely to this out, because they like seeing what the software will do, whereas in MEF they just want things to work so they can get on with business.- 1
