How to link to posts?

[uemndlr]

If I want to link to another post on this site, what's the best way to do it? BBCode used to have a [post=<number>] syntax, but this doesn't seem to be supported here.

When I simply copy the URL into a [url=<link>] tag, I see it contains a "sid=<hexstring>" parameter. If I include this, would it divulge my login? Can somebody who knows this hex string hijack my account? If I throw this part out, the link works, but when I follow it, I'm not logged in anymore.

Besides, old posts contain links to tugstories.com, I wonder if it would make sense to globally replace that by tugstories.blog?

Hey there. There is only one way to do it.
Every single post on the site has its own URL link. The link is copied by clicking on the small paper icon on the upper-left corner of each post.




There is no way that a link would share your login parameters. As for forum links, keep in mind that the .blog domain is temporary and that we fully expect to be able to reclaim our old .com address in two months' time. The temporary URL logouts and whatnot are just temporary.

Related to this, though... I have found that this new host has appended a new variable at the end of the PHP string in the URL. This value, "sid", stands for "Session ID". That "sid" is automatically appended to the end of all URLs while you're logged into the site. In short, all links to posts are now useless unless someone knows a way to work around it.

@bondagefreak, I notice, for example, that the link in your signature banner does this for me.

We already know about that. But I don't understand. How does that make links useless?
Links still work. They're just annoying in that they log you out.
Thankfully, we have the quick login pop-up that allows logging in while staying on the desired page.

UPDATE: The site cookie settings have been altered and fixed.
We should no longer be logged out when clicking on links.
