preferred way to link to other forum posts in your message?

[pdobratz]

Hi,

Every once in a while I come across forum posts that have links to other posts in them.  However, sometimes I cannot follow the link and get back to the message that the poster is referring to.  Is there a standard way to link to forum posts?

For example, take the following thread:

http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=330&message.id=4386&query.id=0

The second message in this thread lists a URL that starts with exchange.ni.com, and this just goes to a generic error message.  The poster does not give enough information for me to find the message using an advanced search.

Are there any standard procedures for linking to other NI discussion forum messages for new posts?

This is due to changes which were made to NI's site (and probably the database) that make old links obselete. Most people just use the method you did and hopefully these links will be kept up-to-date.

In this case, if you post a new message in that thread, I'm sure Ray will be happy to help you.
