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!

seconding the above two comments I always link to the top comment of any particular thread with the "from" link since that makes it easier to go back and re-read without having to search for the beginning of the thread, and yeah, I do it chronologically backwards, too -- type out both posts, post the second, and then post the first with the link to the second.
