Get URL of Specific Lists to Directly View in Browser

When you open up your home on Remember The Milk, you're redirected automatically to your "Personal" tasks list.

What if you want to go to "All Tasks" directly in your browser? Or your other lists? I thought that'd be really helpful for me. Especially when you're using Fluid or Snippage to view RTM. This way, you'll be able to get to view your lists in different windows (apps).

Here's how I figured it out.

1. Type in http://www.rememberthemilk.com/home/username/ in the URL bar. You can simply copy paste it from your homepage. The "username" will of course be accorded to yours.

2. While on your homepage, in your browser, click View > View Source (ALT + CMD + U). You should see a window containing of weird characters like in this screenshot: http://img.skitch.com/20091026-t79se8ne96ki6kmgu73q886hwk.png

3. Find the list you want and copy the numbers at the end of the URL of its "href" attribute. The numbers are highlighted in the above screenshot for my example. Note, here, I wanted the URL to my "Check These Out" list.

4. Paste the numbers at the end of the URL in number 1. So, we have http://www.rememberthemilk.com/home/username/10745904

5. Copy paste the URL in number 4 in your URL bar and you will be redirected to the specific list immediately. For example, http://www.rememberthemilk.com/home/kaypearl/10745904 will redirect me to my "Check These Out" list of tasks.

P.S. Go 'head and try seeing what my lists contain, you have to be signed in to the account of /username/ so I'm not worried, ;).

To view all your tasks quickly, just find the URL for "All Tasks" in the Source view and append the numbers at the end of its URL to http://www.rememberthemilk.com/home/username/

An "easier" way to do this is to use the "print" option (top right of list window).

This generates a URL like http://www.RememberTheMilk.com/print/username/12345

You then simply edit the "print" out and replace this with "home" giving
http://www.RememberTheMilk.com/home/username/12345

This also works for Smart lists too !

I had to use this method as my work browser disables "View Source".

Hope That Helps
