OK, just noticed a DU change

[KitchenWitch]

what is the difference between what used to be "link" and what is now "permalink"?

[auntAgonist]

1. I clicked on permalink ..

I have NO idea


:shrug:

[KitchenWitch]

3. To be honest

I never understood what the function of "link" was either!

[ghostsofgiants]

15. It's an easy way to link to a specific post in a thread

Say if you want to post it on another site for people to see.

Link and permalink are the same thing, but permalink is just the hip nerd term or something.

[Rabrrrrrr]

2. Skinner answered it earlier - it's the same thing as "link"

but permalink is the currently accepted nomenclature for that function in the blogosphere.

5. Oh

I guess that means I should venture out of the Lounge once in awhile :rofl:

[Lone_Star_Dem]

6. No, it does not!

It's much nicer here in the lounge, trust me. :hi:

[Rabrrrrrr]

7. No, he answered here it in the lounge!

In a thread much like yours, that was asked about 12 hours ago.

4. I just tried clicking on it as well....

And all it did was send me to the post where the permalink came from...

What's the point of that? Anybody know? Maybe they will have a discussion of this one of these days...in the spot where the announcements are made...



:shrug:

8. Yeah - use it if you want to point to a specific post.

Like this:

10. Well now, thank you!

And after I had slightly snarky things to say in your thread re praying for the president, even!

You are the living example of a very good and moral person...

And we all need more of such people as yourself...thank you!

:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

11. Aww, Peggy...

:blush: I let your comment stand. You are entitled to disagree, and you did so politely. That makes you a class act, IMO. O8)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

12. Thank you so much...I did want to be polite; I see no point in

rudeness...especially when it comes to religious discussions....

People's feelings about religion can be very sensitive, and even though I am not religious myself, I understand and respect this....

I really appreciate your calling me a class act...that is rarely spoken to me, ever...

Takes one to know one, I always say...:loveya:

9. You can right click on that, and "Copy Shortcut" for the url...

Paste it somewhere to refer people to the post.

[ConcernedCanuk]

13. That being the same as "Copy Link Location" in MozillaSpeak

.

right? :silly:

[BikeWriter]

14. Yep. :-)

[In_The_Wind]

16. I need help ...

I'm way too sleepy ...
