It looks like the share link button within a topic (a specific reply/post) has been changed, previously it offered the full range os share options, copy link, post to social, share in email. Now I see it only provides a link copy functionality. The full topic share is now only at the bottom of a topic, putting the social sharing features far away. Am I missing a feature to provide the full share at the post/reply level? [indicator of the social share being at the bottom of a topic only]

I think the admin can use the post menu setting to choose whether the copy link or the share option (or both) are shown below posts. config/site_settings.yml 47597219b post_menu: client: true type: list list_type: simple default: "read|like|copyLink|flag|edit|bookmark|delete|admin|reply" allow_any: false choices: - read - copyLink - share - like - edit - flag - delete - bookmark - admin - reply

If you click the post information you can share from there. [Screenshot_20240109_165904_Edge]

Ahh! This is the fix, I could not find these settings. It looks like the old share button was made into CopyLink, so I removed that one, and added the share from the menu below. [Screen Shot 27] Now I have the full share button back on each post: [share-from-post] Also, I prefer a a share icon rather than the default link one, so in my custom component for my site, in the Head I include: // icon substitutions for share buttons api.replaceIcon('d-post-share', 'external-link-alt'); api.replaceIcon('d-topic-share', 'external-link-alt');

Wow, thanks! But what is the visual cue that someone would know that the little bit of text with a time stamp is the link to share? This needs a better UI IMHO.
