Hi everyone,

In our community guidelines we mentioned we would be creating a A-Z of threads, posts and content in TCLA to help people navigate the forums and to also help them find specific content. We think this will also help to reduce duplicate threads, which can often make the forums even more difficult to navigate.

I would be grateful for anyone who can help with this process. By help, what I need from you is any really helpful posts you have bookmarked. I will then create a separate thread that just has an alphabetic list of these bookmarks (we will label them up something appropriate) and this will then become our A-Z!

Don't worry if it is a thread, an individual post, or even content elsewhere on the site which is available to everyone.

Please just either copy the URL webpage or insert the bookmark in a post below and this help generate the A-Z

Many thanks

Jess

    How do you link the posts as you guys have done above? When I go to insert bookmarks it doesn't come up like that...

    I click insert Bookmark that is at the bottom left of the post as you type it. The following box then comes up (seen attached screenshot) and then I click search and all my bookmarks are shown in reverse chronological order (most recent bookmark first).

    I then click "link to these messages" rather than quote.

    Not sure if the difference you see is in how you set up the Bookmarks though... might be (I don't put much thought into that) down to the options you have when you set up a bookmark though.

    Yeah that option doesn't come up for me unfortunately :(

    @Jessica Booker can you see the posts in these links?

    Ohh that is different... I can see the posts but it just seems to be like a copy of the post rather than redirecting you to the thread... I might still be able to use them though. Let me have a look and see what I can do.

    Edit - I can eventually get to the thread post as it links it at the top. I suspect you have set these as private rather than public when you created the bookmark and that might be why they look different/work differently

    I've just copied the actual links of the posts/threads which should make it easier for you?

    Ah okay yeah that could be it - I'll have a look now

    Edit: no all my bookmarks seem to be set to public so I have no idea why that's the case. Oh well, but no harm done
