How Do I Get those Clever Arrows?

Hi Guys.

This is probably a really stupid question but here goes.

I've noticed that when some posters post links to other posts, they put a blue arrow icon that you just click on, which takes you directly to it.

The only way that I know of, is to type the link out in full.

I have tried lookng on the A-Z guide but I can't find it.

Thanks in advance

Crazy Saver.
If only I knew then what I know now :)

    The little blue arrow is a a bit different from doing link that Nelly has explained and happens automatically, as above, when you quote all or part of someone's post.

    Thanks Edinburghlass, but it doesn't seem to work like that for me:confused:

    Hi Edinburghlass.

    I've just worked out why it hasn't been working.

    When I quote someone, I highlight the text and then use the quote wrap around icon at the top of the message box.

    I didn't realise you had to use the quote button on the actual message:rolleyes:

    Thanks again

    Didn't the arrow/chevron only appear when the forum was upgraded a few weeks ago?
