Is there a way when answering another users question to refer to a specific post that relates to their question?

Yes.

You need to open the other post and c&p the address then insert it...... as an example if we were talking about pictures I would refer people to this post http://forums.iboats.com/showthread.php?t=285637

All I did was copy the address and past it in here.

Ayuh,.... Another way to do it is,....

Write the text you'd like the link to appear as,... Then Hi-light it,...
Then use the button for posting links.... Copy,+ paste the link into the little box that appears,+ click OK...
It'll look like This,+ still bring you to the link...

THat entire section between the title and the message box, does not exist in my browser window. :(

May have to.

User CP at the top (left) below the first banner add... Edit Options in the left vertical bar... scroll way down to the Misc. Options and make sure your Message Editor Interface is set to "Standard Editor - Extra formatting controls"
