Hello :wave: We use this new feature, silent links for Disable notifications for watched words link but it seems the silent link can’t handle anchor, like TOC. If I add a silent link. It won’t jump to the correct position. For example: https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/93648#hello-world-remote-12?s…

I believe the query should always come before the hash. See the specification here. :thinking: This works: https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/93648?silent=true#hello-world-remote-12

Thanks @Arkshine :slight_smile: That was my bad. :smile: I don’t know why I thought that was the good way to use it. Thanks a lot for the clarification. :heart:

Note there is a minor glitch in my implementation: ?hello=1&silent=true (multi params) are probably not going to work, but I can’t really think of legit cases where we need multi param support and this feature.
