1. Start tag: [thread=
2. Paste in URL: [thread=http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=22560
3. Delete most of what they pasted in ("http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=").
4. End tag.

Why not eliminate step 3?

I think that can't be done. With javascript you can't copy texts to clipboard

i dont think this will be a very good idea, it could be confusing.. people prefer a website thats simple and easy to navigate, as opposed to a confusing bunched up mess

They don't have to use [thread]/[post] or even know it exists if they don't want to.

* WDZ waits for example code

Maybe I could change the link on the date to the "copy to clipboard" script, because a link to what you're already viewing isn't useful.

code:

---

function ClipBoard()
{
holdtext.innerText = copytext.innerText;
Copied = holdtext.createTextRange();
Copied.execCommand("Copy");
}

I just copied it from a site, don't know if it works. but I remember mess.be had a nick-name generator that copied the text with specioal chars to the clipboard to paste them in Messenger.

And what if you want to link a specific post from another website?

You use the javascript to copy the link to the clipboard, of course.

* WDZ goes to try the script

Ahm, all right, I thought you just wanted to copy the pid. Ok .

That site where the script came from
The script uses a lot of commands proprietary to Internet Explorer 4.0 and above.

Can't say I like that very much...
