Highlighting Scriptures on LDS.org Part 2

[HoosierGuy]

Well, this is not a "scripture" post but it does deal with posting scriptures and how to post them in a highlighted way and I think this post belongs here here so....

Let’s say you want to discuss a scripture passage here on the boards of lds.net. You may want to provide a link to the exact scripture on lds.org. That's easy to do. Just go to the scriptures page at:

Scriptures

Then once you find the page, you copy and past the url here like this:

Abraham 2

That's easy to do. But, what if you want to post a scripture and have it highlighted in yellow on lds.org? I'm talking about something like this:

Ether 12

As you can see, when you click the link Ether 12:6 is highlighted in yellow. So, how did I do that and how can you do that? In case you don’t know here is how. And I'm posting these instructions because I have seen others here on lds.net do this but I did not know how until I accidentally found out how. So....

The secret is all in the little search box in the upper left hand corner of the scriptures page. Let’s say you want to post a link highlighting John 21:17

All you have to do is go to the search box and put in "John 21:17" and hit enter. That will show you only "John 21:17" alone. If you want to post a link to that then you are done. Copy the url and post it here like this and that's it: Reference Search: john 21:17

But let’s show John 21:17 highlighted in yellow along with all the rest of John 21. All you have do is click the little John 21:17 link button that is above the passage and that page will take you to all of John 21 with 17 highlighted in yellow like this: John 21

It's simple to do and I hope I've been clear. I did not know how to do this for a long time until I accidentally discovered it! lol. Anyway, in case any of you did not know how to do it but wanted to, now you know!

I must be doing something wrong. I can't seem to mark anything in yellow.

[HoosierGuy]

It's simple. Just punch in the scripture you want to highlight in the search box, for example 2 Nephi 12:3 and hit search. That will take you to that exact scripture but right above that scripture is a link that will say 2 Nephi 12:3. Click that link and you will see all of 2 Nephi 12 with 3 highlighted in yellow.

Yup did that. didn't work. Oh well, I'll continue to use my red pencil.

[HoosierGuy]

Hmm, not sure how more clear I can be.

Go here - 1 Nephi

in the search box punch in "2 Nephi 10:15" without the quotes. Hit search. You will see 2 Nephi 10:15 and a link that says 2 Ne. 10:15. Click the link and there you go!

You're being so sweet. . . but its really not working for me. I've tried it with several scriptures. Sometimes these things just don't work for me. I am technically/electronically challenged at times.

Thanks bunches again for being so sweet. Really you don't need to keep trying. . .I'll figure it out someday. Maybe it will work tomorrow.

Follow the link below. Then click the link that says 3 Ne. 15:5 and you

should see all of 3 Ne. 15 with 5 highlighted. You might be able to see in the search box what I punched in also.

Reference Search: 3 Nephi 15:5

I think applepansy is confused, the online scripture ‘highlighting’ feature is just for easier reading a passage that has been quoted from a talk. For example if your reading 2 Nephi 10:15-17, the highlighting feature makes it easier to see and to read those passages, you can’t (as far as I know) highlight scriptures for all time.
