Thanks. That’s what I ended up doing. Months later (today), I needed to copy a link to a specific post and couldn’t so I ended up finding this bug topic and I see that I’ve already posted here 
In the interest of keeping the interface less overwhelming, I am going to keep it hidden since none of my Forum users ever ask about it.
I would note though the link to the overall topic is still available at the bottom even if you remove “copyLink” from the “Post Menu” setting.
