Forums / Tips & Tricks

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, ;).
