It’s important to be able to link to archived posts without necessarily ‘awakening’ that thread as a current topic, which is what happens if you go there and simply quote from it. To link to an old post:
- Go to the top level of Discourse.
- Scroll down to the CSGnet archive.
- Select CSG2017.
- Click the search tool (magnifying glass, top right).
- Enter a search string in the search window, in this case “Dealing with the limitation of only positive neural signals”.
- The first line that appears searches in all topics; select the second line, which is limited to the CSG2017 archive.
- Only the first half dozen or so posts are listed; select More… at the bottom if that’s not enough and you want to see more.
To link to a post there:
- Type or copy/paste some text in your own current post that you will use as link text.
- Select and copy the URL in your browser’s address field.
- Click the link tool at the top of your edit window.
- In the popup window, paste the URL that you copied.
