Just joined here and trying to get to grips with the hyperlink features here. I can see buttons for hyperlinking to a URL or a user, but how do you hyperlink to a previous entry here ?
I have an attachment on an earlier post as ... 90days.pdf... which comes up as a blue hyperlink to my pdf file download which I used to place that file on my post.
What I want to do now is hyperlink across to that download in later posts but I am unable to find a way to do this.
Sorry if I appear dumb but I have little experience of using forums and this one in particular !
perhaps this would be better on the chat board so I will try my luck there !

Have you seen the 'Link to Post' option on the drop down beside the cog wheel icon on each post ? The top link shown is to the post in the context of the thread, the bottom one just to that post.
Then use the Link option in the post composition window (left hand button in the righthand group of formatting icons). The text in the top box will be what renders in the post, the bottom box is the embedded link (that you have copied from the previous step).

Ok thanks for that advice I would never have worked that out my myself  It still sounds rather complicated so I will see how I get on !
