Very Quick Question

From: Rhino on 25 May 2010 12:19 Can someone remind me how to create a link to a particular thread in Google Groups? I used to know how to do it long ago but haven't done it in ages and never wrote it down.... I tried to find it in Google itself but I came up empty; I thought that "refer to Google Groups thread" was a reasonable search but it didn't find what I wanted.... -- Rhino

I'm trying to find a way to create a URL that points to a specific thread within Google groups. For example, I started a thread there on March 15 entitled "Design Question" and I'd like to be able to provide a URL that I could post in a newsgroup like this that takes people directly to the start of that thread. I realize that I could give them the date, title and/or authorname so that they could find the thread via an Advanced Search but I'm sure there is a way to get a direct URL; I just don't remember what it is. -- Rhino

There was also no obvious way to scroll through down to see more. I probably could have just kept clicking the "Older" link down at the bottom but I would have had to scroll a lot of timees to get to the one I wanted. Did I misunderstand your instructions? > <http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.java.programmer/browse_frm/th > read/db7a1c8f88da2ff8> > The good news is that I found what I wanted a different way. The Advanced Google Groups search page has a special search box at the bottom that lets you input a Message-ID. I realized that is the name of the thing I want. I did a fresh search on "Google message-id" and found instructions on how to get the messsage-ID for any message: just go to the message itself, click on "Show Original" and look for the Message-ID field in the header, roughly in the middle. In my case, that is Xns9D3CA11E0D2F4noofflinecontactplea(a)202.177.16.121. If I then go to the Groups Advanced Search page at http://groups.google.com/advanced_search?q=& and plug in the message-ID in the very bottom search box, it takes me directly to my post. That could be very handy in giving people references to past threads so I'm including all the information here in case it helps anyone else down the road. -- Rhino
