I am a subscriber.....How can I post a link to a thread so non-subscribers can see?

[stockjock]

If I want to let someone look at one of my threads in.....say the For Sale/Trade forum and I link it. Since I'm a subscriber, it links to to MY subscriber thread and if the person that looks at it is not a subscriber they will not be able to look at it....How can this be fixed?

Just change the word "subscriber" to the word "forums."

Azraele is correct, but there's something else to add as well...

If a subscriber clicks on a non-subscriber link they will be automatically re-directed to the subscriber forums. So there's no need to provide both a subscriber and a non-subscriber link. Unless you just want to remind people that they should subscribe.

Good point Viper, there are many people that didn't know that the servers will automatically redirect subscribers to the subscriber server(s).

So, by default, always use the forums.anandtech.com.... address and people will get where they need to go

Or just ONLY post subscriber links to remind people to subscribe.... 😉

if its setup to reroute subscribers to the subscribe server regardless of the link, why is it not setup to reroute non-subscribers back to the regular server when clicking on a subsriber link?

 

[Hossenfeffer]

Because non-subscribers have to pay for that 😉

"No link for you!"

(a good point, Luckster)
