.In a new reply I tried to insert links to a couple of my own posts.
But it failed. I only got links to the corresponding topics.
How do I go about getting a specific link to a particular post?
TIA,
type the post number in the entry box (example #1876429).
Go to the post you want to link.
Right click on the post # in the upper right.
Come back to the entry box
Highlight the number you put there #1876429
Click on the “chain” in the menubar (insert/edit link)
Paste the url into the top box
Check the box that says “open link in new tab”
Click “Add link”
Well you could just copy the URL linked from the post number field, then use the link button and paste that, and write a suitable text or it seems to default to displaying the URL directly too.
Yes.
Though that method is quite familiar to me, I seem to have temporarily forgotten it. 
When multiline/-paragraph, I always compose in EditPad Lite and, when satisfied, I copy and paste into LibreOffice Writer, Firefox|Chrome, Thunderbird, whatever the target’s text box. Only then do I choose/modify font and layout, if needed. 
Unfortunately my memory lapses will increase with advancing age, therefore my anticipated apologies. 
In the upper right of every topic/post, you will see a link to that post. For example, #1234567. Right click on that link, and copy the link location. Paste that link into a new post, and you will then have a link to the specific post rather than to the entire topic.
