Go to the thread that the post you want to link to is in. Then highlight the title, and right-click and do "copy". Take note of the post number you want to link to, then go to where you want to insert the link, do right-click again and do "paste"..
 
Also, to highlight the title, hold your left mouse button down and drag your mouse across the entire title. It will show highlighted in blue, and then follow the directions in my previous post.. :)

Once you go to the thread where the post you wish to link to is, click the number of the post that is at the top right hand side of the actual post. It appears on every post anyone makes. If it is a recent post you made, you can find it by accessing your post history: click on your avatar at the top right hand side of any page, and select "Your Content" on the left hand side of the drop-down that appears. Once you select "Your Content" you are taken to a page that has links to the last 200 posts you have made. If it is not a recent post, you can find it by using the search function, and entering key words you know you used in the post, and your user name in the appropriate fields given for such.

Once you are looking at the actual post you want to link to, click the number of the post on the top right, and THEN copy the url address in the top address bar. Return to the page where you wish to insert it, and in the message box where you want the link, select from the icons above the message box the symbol in between the T for font size and the little mountain for inserting images. An app will appear with two lines for text. The first one says URL. Paste the url of your post there. Then move your cursor into the second line where it says Text, and insert type what you want your link title to be. It can say anything you want, like, Click here. Here is an example: Scripture Art. :)
