question!

How do you make the 'From here' and 'To here' tags without entering into a catch-22 trap?

Say I start at place X and want to move to Y; so I make a post at X and end off with 'To ...', but I won't be able to know the exact link until I actually make the post at Y.

But I can't know the link to use under 'From ...' in the post at Y if I haven't made the post at X.

Yet I've seen so many people manage this without editing... how do you guys do it?

Thanks!

Some people just link to the top post and not the individual thread-- I prefer to link to the actual thread in question, which is easy if you're threading with other people. Like in the example one you posted below, the person linked to the other person's post (S.T.'s) instead of linking their own.

heh, good point. I didn't catch that. >_>

Haha, no worries.~ I was worse at that when I first started here.
