    This text describes a method which can be used to link a post to a page.

    Make sure that you are on the page to be linked.

    At the top of the page is a wide white box showing the url of the current page.

    This will be something like :

    https://patient.info/forums/discuss/strong-bones-support-group-2--513840?page=0#2127573

    This is a url (Universal Resource Locator)

    You have to Hilight this.

    This is done by:

    Click once in the middle

    Press Ctrl A  (Hold down the control (Ctrl) key and press A once. This will cause the url to be Hilighted.

    You now need to copy thie Hilighted url.

    This is done by either:

    Press Ctrl C

    or

    Move the mouse cursor over the hilighted url, right click the mouse and select copy.

    You now have a copied url held in a buffer.

    Assuming that you are sending a link to someone:

    Open a post window by clicking on the reply to (whoever) button

    Type any introductory text and then leave a blank line and move to the line below

    You now need to post the saved url.

    This is done by moving the cursor to the start of the line and either

    Press Ctrl V

    or

    Move the mouse cursor onto the line where the url is to be located, right click the mouse and select Paste.

    Go to the end of the line and press Return twice followed by any other text that you wanted to send.

    Press the Reply to button

    The url in your post will change colour.

    If you want to put a link onto a different page, it is easier if you have already got a post on that page and have opened a second tab for that page.

    You need to Hilight and copy the url as described above but don't post it.

    Click on the second tab and move to your previous post.

    Click on the Reply button and leave a line (Return twice) and then

    move the cursor to the start of the line and either

    Press Ctrl V

    or

    Move the mouse cursor onto the line where the url is to be located, right click the mouse and select Paste.

    Go to the end of the line and press Return twice followed by any other text that you wanted to send.

    Click on Reply and the url should change colour and be available as a link.

    Let me know if there are any problems, I haven't tested my English!

    Colin.

    Being a newbie, I'm confused, but I'll try to follow whatever you all do!  Hoping my brain can figure it out!!!

      Hello Jill,

      Hope that the confusion is receding - it was unintentional.

      One of my minor gripes with the system has been that there was often no simple and quick way to get back to where I had been if I followed a link. I know that I have all the information necessary to return, but it's much easier if there is a return link as well as a get there link. There won't always be return links but for our main threads it hasn't been too difficult to set up. I now have to search for the links that I missed (the missing link) and there are bound a few of these since I worked purely off my screen. I can now write down what I did.

      Hope that things are well with you.

      Let me know if you need help or have any comments about what I've done.

      Best Regards

      Colin.

      I get email notifications for every added post.  Do you all?  That's good in the sense that I'm able to follow pretty well, but bad in the sense that I have many emails to go through! I just figured out how to narrow them down to just these posts, and my other emails are separate, so that is making it easier......

      Hi Jill,

      I found a good article on Chia seeds which might be of interest to you so I'll PM you the link and you can decide for yourself. It seems that what I told you was true but you can use a lot more liquid to prevent the seeds pinching your liquid before digestion.

      Hope that you've had a good day. You must get loads of notifications about my interactions since I poke my oar in all over the place. I never thought of that before since I don't see my own notifications.

      My inbox has 20000 items in it and I only sort it out occasionally but I do separate out the posts from Patient.

      I'd better go and post the link.

      Talk again tomorrow.

      Hello Carrie et al,

      For those of you who knew her, Eileen has told me that life is too chaotic at the moment and she has decided to withdraw from the Patient website and all its conversations. I intend to keep in touch via email when the time is appropriate.

      Today I started reading the latest book about vitamin K2 and how it all fits in with calcium. It turns out that K2 is another one of those vitamins that is a miracle and is the catalyst for a multitude of operations within the human frame. As well as being responsible for sorting out the calcium on the bones, it also helps to clean up plaque in the cardiac and other arteries, along with other vitamins and enzymes, it can help to control osteoarthritis if it's fairly recent, and can mitigate some of it's problems even if it is mature. And that is only after the first 20 pages. I also have obtained a bone health guide from which i hope to learn more secrets of nature's miracles.

      It's not really very surprising that the doctors do not have all the facts at their fingertips when I have only a couple of things to know about and am studying loads of books and trying to assimilate and study a myriad of pages of data, whilst they are expected to know about every ailment, problem, drug and treatment that has existed and is under development. It really is too much of a task for any individual. I would have expected that by now there would be a program developed which had been designed as a diagnostician under the control of the medical profession, so that they could have all the necessary information at their fingertips. Such a program would be an ongoing permanent development and would be pretty massive after even a short while but if we can spend umpy-ump man-years on developing software to get someone to Mars, I believe this should be a piece of cake.

      I do try to spread around any and all the information that comes my way that is of any interest, and this gives me a great deal of pleasure. The pages on the site that I have read have enhanced and increased my knowledge significantlyand I have also made friends with whom I can discuss issues and problems.

      Much of today was spent in household chores and collating past posts so that I can extract more useful data from them. There are not as many new posts as there were a couple of months ago so I am beginning to catch up a little. Keeping up with new links is almost impossible and I've stopped trying to cover all of them, only covering those which appear to me to be of significance.

      Gymnasium tomorrow. I've been doing a little less since I over-stretched myself and ended up with an aching back and abdomen. Kept up with the impact exercises and things are improving. I'm still looking forward to finding that I really am improving rather than just feeling that I am.

      I'd be interested to hear from anyone with some osteoarthritis / osteoporosis links & information.

      Best Wishes to everyone

      Regards

      Aristotle

      aka Colin.
