I haven't used it so I don't know how well it works, but you might want to try going into the thread you want to ignore, click on "thread tools" and then "ignore thread."

Thank you!

Hey, guys. How do I screen shot a post?

Thanks.

Dapper,

Download all types of freeware at cnet.

I like "snip-it" for screen captures ... use it about everyday at work. Easy to learn/use and you can get just a piece of the screen if that is all you are interested in.

Here below is the link pointing you in that direction. You can just search along the lines of "free download screen capture snip-it software."

www.cnet.com

Always notice cnet's ratings on their freebies software. Too, ensure it is compatible with your particular platform. It should indicate the operating system. Examples: windows, mac, etc.

If cnet gave it a poor rating, you don't want it. Download the free versions.

Lots of goodies there. Have fun!

more direct download links may be more helpful

for snip-it:

search for whatever you need here:

http://download.cnet.com

good anti-virus there too

*note: some might not be rated yet so get a review by googling it first for reliability before you download

You could also just screenshot it directly on your phone but maybe this is obvious.

RockOn, thank you for your extensive information. nycfem, thanks for joining in, as well (and actually, I am not very good with "the obvious"!)

But, I guess I shouldn't have said screen shot. I actually would never take a picture of a post here and send it somewhere....I know this is an open message board, but it would feel wrong!

What I want to do is that thing where you put a link of an old post inside of a new post you are writing.

Gemme, I think I have seen you do this before? This way I don't place a link to a thread and then tell the person to find post #48395720.

Thanks!

I just go to the post and click on the number in the right hand corner. Then I copy the web address. After that, I create a new post (or reply) and insert a hyperlink (the globe with a chain at the bottom). Then I paste the address I copied. When I'm really being clever, I type something like "click here" and highlight it before I hyperlink so the link address isn't visible in my post.

Does that help?

If i put a member on ignore do they know they are on ignore or does it show up in the threads?
