Either copy the url of the one and paste it into your post in the other.
Or, if you want to specify a particular post, click on the #number at the bottom of the post copy the given link and paste it in your other thread. To do this on phone you need to hold it in landscape, the #number doesn't show when in portrait.

Tablet.

What is the url? Is it the name of the thread, or does it require loads of https etc with it?

I think the URL is the complete web address of whatever you are looking at

I just want to put a link to the other 'awkward calf won't suck' threads into the latest thread asking for help.

Yes it's the https (website address) at the top of the screen. On tablet (or phone) double tap in the address, choose select all and then copy. Then go to where you want to post it. Double tap in the reply box, choose paste. Job done.

I managed that. You just press "+quote" instead of "reply" and you can plop it in anywhere (I did that instead of doing what I originally wanted, in the end).

See the screen shots I've done.
The link is to your post number 12, click the #12 at the bottom of the page, that brings up second screenshot.
Click on the link, select all, copy.
Then you can paste it into another thread via the little chain (link).

That creates a link to that post which you can paste some where else, it doesn't quote the post in question.

Thought that was what was wanted.
No?
