Etiquette Link

[ZatarRufus]

Oh, as far as links go, you have to find them yourself in another broser window.  I don't know the exact number of posts here at the Lounge, but it wouldn't be a pretty thing to browse through!

In my current test, I am attempting to embed links to individual posts within the LurkerLounge.

Equipment and software used:

Pentium 450mhz computer.
Two button mouse with scroll wheel.
Windows 98se with all current updates.
Internet Explorer 6.0 (& lots of trailing numbers)

01. Launched IE, went to LurkerLounge Forums, & logged in.
02. Launched 2nd instance of IE (as Guest)
03. 1st instance of IE had now logged me out.
04. Closed 2nd IE, logged in again in 1st window.
05. Opened 2nd IE via right-click on Search.
06. In 2nd IE, entered "barbarian AND mace" as Keywords.
07. In "Search Where?", selected "All open forums", and "Show results as posts"
08. Clicked "Perform Search" button.
09. Results show five posts.
10. Clicking on the number following "Preview Post:" (#29568) http://www.lurkerlounge.com/forums/index.p...ace&#entry29568 took me to the forum, but not the individual post.
11. The same occurred for each one I clicked on.
12. Back to 1st IE window, in "My Controls", changed from threaded view to linear.
13. In 2nd IE window, 1st post link gave same results.
14. The remaining post links brought up the correct forum with the desired post centered (vertically) with the word(s) "barbarian" and/or "mace" colored.
15. In 1st IE, changed back to threaded view via "My Controls".
16. In 2nd IE, clicking post numbers now all behaved as mentioned in line 10.

Following is potentially links to individual posts:

#30055 http://www.lurkerlounge.com/forums/index.p...ace&#entry30055
#29054 http://www.lurkerlounge.com/forums/index.p...ace&#entry29054
#29050 http://www.lurkerlounge.com/forums/index.p...ace&#entry29050
#28635 http://www.lurkerlounge.com/forums/index.p...ace&#entry28635

To get these links, In the 2nd IE window I right-clicked on the post number itself and selected "Copy Shortcut". Then returned to the 1st window and did Ctrl-V.

Now to preview, post, and test these links.

03.11.04.04.38 Edit1: Clicking these embedded links (with linear view as my default) sort of works. Some better than others. Any comments by more experienced users will be appreciated.
03.11.04.04.56 Edit2: Minor clarification added.
