There are a few way to go about this. The easiest and most straight forward is to just copy and paste the link of said article/thread in the reply section. If you want it to look like a clear blue link like this...
Tagging a thread?
You can go to the top right corner of any post and click on the "post #1 of 1" and it will bring up a submenu with 2 links. The bottom link looks like the above blue link. You need to copy the entire link, which in plain text form, will be much longer than what actually shows up. This will take you directly to the post. So if you just want it to bring you to a particular thread to increase traffic, I'd suggest using post #1.

Hope that helps.

Also, if you want to have the second method I mentioned have a different displayed text, you can edit the title name in the link, as this is the text that will be displayed. For example, this is a link to this thread, post #1...
I hope this help. Feel free to ask questions anytime!

Thanks for the info. I’ve always wondered too.

FWIW when using the Android app the copying and pasting of article titles doesn't work.


I can copy and paste everything else though.

Yes, I think that's what they mean.

Tagging is different with the @ then the members screen name...
...which @NHMountainMan already knows how to do.

@aart - thanks for clarifying. That was what I meant. This technology challenged guy is slowly figuring how to navigate BYC.
