(OT) Working with PM node links when posting

    Um... funny thing about how you put in that reference to another node at PM -- specifying the full url so you could add "#sense" to arrive at a specific point in the node...

    When I follow it, my login info gets lost. (I become anonymonk when viewing the referenced node.)

    If you just use [How (Not) To Ask A Question] or [id://172086], rather than hard-coding the full url, the user's login is preserved when following the link -- compare what happens when following your link to what happens with these: How (Not) To Ask A Question (cited by name) and How (Not) To Ask A Question (cited by id://node_id). Or even this (bare node_id plus a label).

    Sadly, it's not possible to append "#target" to any of those citation forms, in order to jump to a specific point in the node, and maybe no one wants to add that capability (maybe for good reason). So just cite the node in the normal way and add a comment that the reader should look for a specific point in the node -- rather than causing the reader to become disoriented.
