Every posting in these forums already has an HTML anchor Id, e.g. this giraffe posting (using &messageID=1244908 for highlighting and #M1244908 for anchoring).

For everyone who is tech savvy it's not that big a problem to link to one specific posting but I could imagine that most of the users are not able to create that link. So it would be nice to have a button for this.

The reason I'm asking for this is mostly related to contributions.

1) Within a contrib discussion one sometimes refers to another posting in another thread and it would be easier to link to that

2) Within the contribution notes e.g. for the birthyear or common name of a person.

It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

It changes the ID in the address bar for copy & paste

Oh ok! I clicked the button but didn't notice the change.

so it will probably be easier for me to just right click the new icon and click copy link location.

Hey Ken, while your at it, could you place some kind of linking icon next to a person's name in the "last post" column on the forum topics pages, that actually takes you to the last post in that specific thread.

Please, please, please???

The link icon is showing up in PM's.  Seems like it's pointless there.
