I’m a regular user on a particular Discourse forum, and recently the “in reply to” links in the top right of posts have stopped working. For example, clicking on “Island_Pilot” in the post below does nothing (other than briefly causing the arrow to make a “refresh”-like motion). [image] A number of users of the forum have reported the same issue. I don’t know if this applies on the mobile app, but it definitely does on desktop browsers. (I’ve been able to replicate the issue on Chromium, Firefox, and Brave.) Any suggestions on how to resolve this issue? Thanks!

Okay that is not share post(guess it will s also a shared post label). That is reply to post creating a new topic Clicking on your reply icon to the left of “share post” takes me to your post that I replied to

But to be clear, I’m talking about clicking “gurtz” in the image below. [image] On this forum it works and shows the “replied to” post in-lined above the post. (I can’t show a second image in this post, as I’m a new user.) But on the private forum I’m a member of it doesn’t work.

That must be a desktop thing only then. When I click on gurtz on mobile it takes me to your post I replied to.

Thanks @Moin. I do think it’s probably an issue with the specific forum. What would you suggest for getting to the bottom of this? Can this post be turned into a Bug report?

Oh wow, that a very cool find. Thanks @Watson!

I’ll pass this on to our “dev” and hopefully they’ll be able to make the change and test.
