Apologies for asking to modify the PM website for a person as memory challenged as I am, but the more articles I post, the more frustrated I'm getting.

First off, ++ for the great web design of PM and in particular, the helpful links that appear under the preview button when I'm entering text (like right now).

My suggestion is to add a direct link to What shortcuts can I use for linking to other information? in the bottom sentence, right after the link to Writeup Formatting Tips.

The reason I'm asking for this is that I can never remember the syntax for the various shortcuts to link to, and I'm always clicking on the Writeup Formatting Tips link first, then scrolling to the bottom to find the What shortcuts can I use for linking to other information? link. I know there are lots of ways I can solve this problem locally, but I now access PM from so many different computers (and way too often for my own good, I might add) that implementation and support of all that falls way past my lazy quotient.

I offer beer as an incentive.

My favorite bribe process methodology is you tell me your favorite beer, I go and buy a 6-pack of that, and a 6-pack of one of my favorite beers, then both of us end up getting 3 bottles of each. It's a good way to promote beer cross-pollination.

Any takers?

PS - For any non-alcololic winners, I offer a similar deal with tea. Something new I'm just learning about (see Re: Warming the pot).

Update:
++tye and ++goibhniu for opening my eyes to the private nodelet (all this time here, and never played with it until today)!

Free beer/tea offer still goes, even though I'm happy with my new nodelet...

    That sounds like a fine idea and an easy patch. If you'd like to give the beer to yourself, then just turn on the Free Nodelet in nodelet settings and you can add that link so that it is directly available to you even when you aren't composing a node. FYI.

    absolutely right! I totally agree with you! I'm glad to see that bad memory person is not just me.
