hi yall, how do refer someone to a previous thread that solves the problem their having, because the way i would do it would be to find the previous thread and copy the text, but albiet it makes me look good the original poster of the previous thread should take the credit
 
you can link to the thread/post, I can't think of a better way of doing it, since you are the one who has made the effort to help the user, even though its just link to a old thread.
 
yes, thats what i want to do, (time to be thick) but how do i do that, do i simply right click the original thread and click "copy link" thanks
 
Exactly, then simply paste it.

To be honest though, if you want to copy text and pretend it's your own then thats fine! :) I don't have a problem with it

i couldn't do that its both immoral & unethical, i'd prefer to paste a link to the previous thread
 
Or do it my way! Copy and paste the idea and put source at the end. If other person gives you a thank for it then you worth it because you have done work...searched and paste; according to me you worth for it.
