Question

Windows Live Mail ? Links to this forum not working correctly.

I got a new computer running Windows 7 and have been using Windows Live Mail.

This is where I get my e-mails for updates to messages on this forum.

The link for the message thread has a link that includes the # sign with the correct message to go to on the page.

Now with Windows Live when I click the link it leaves the number after the # sign and just goes to the top of the thread instead to the exact comment.

I can copy and paste the link into a browser and it works fine but if I just click it it does not work like it used to with Outlook Express.

Any ideas if this might be fixable.

Thanks:  GLenn

    So you changed from Outlook to Windows Live Mail and you don't like the consequence that links don't work properly. Apart from the obvious "change back" this question belongs on a forum for Windows Live Mail (where people will most likely tell you to "change back").

    I still have outlook express running on my OLD SLOW windows XP

    My new Windows 7 only has Windows Live Mail so I have to use it unless I get another program.

    I just thought that someone here might have figured it out.

    I dont know what the extra part after the # sign is called so i havent been luck searching google for an answer.

    Here is the link to your message:

    but when I click it it just puts this link in the browser:

    http://forums.adobe.com/message/2965072

    it does work but just takes me to the top of the thread.

    Im not sure why it doesnt use the part with the # and number that follows it.

    It does see it and if hover over it it sees the whole link.

    Just something new to figure out.

    I will try a Windows Live Forum too but if anyone knows any hints that would be great too.

    Thanks:  GLenn

    Does searching at Microsoft result in help for that product?
