For info, I tried to copy and paste a link from a new thread to point to an old thread. I used to do this by copying and pasting the contents of the address bar into the new post, as this included the parameters that pointed to the thread. However, the contents of the address bar are now only "http://www.bushcraftuk.com/index.php/Forums.html", which obviously only links to the main forum page, not the individual thread.
