It seems that only regular lists have links, look for the Permalink link under Atom in the box at right. Typical address: http://www.rememberthemilk.com/home/USER/1234567/

Perhaps you could use the Atom/RSS feeds instead?

lhomme, while only published lists have permalinks in the interface, it is possible to link directly to unpublished lists and Smart Lists too (but you'd need to construct the URL yourself).

The format for URLs is:

http://www.rememberthemilk.com/home/username/listid/

You can find the list ID by looking at the print, iCalendar, or Atom feed links (they all follow the /username/listid/ pattern too).

This URL will take you straight to that list (as long as you're logged in).

Hope this helps!

It works! Thanks.

No problem :)

I'm trying this and for the two I have tried so far, it shows no incomplete tasks. The correct smartlist tab is selected so I think it's at least partially working. Any ideas?

erik, thanks for letting us know. We've checked this out and it turned out to be a bug on our end -- sorry! We've fixed this up so it should work correctly now. If you experience any further problems, please let us know. Thanks!

This is very cool, and I am updating a few bookmarks to reflect this shortcut. Thank you.

The issue of changing my entry point to the site reminds me of two threads that are now dormant, that both revolve around the issue of RTM's forgetting my login credentials despite clicking remember me.

This has been an ongoing issue for me, and I just ran into it again - using both the base URL and the targeted one.

I use FF and Camino and Safari on my Mac, and FF and IE at work (PC, alas), and I've never seen any rhyme or reason in RTM's behavior.

works now, thanks!
