I would like to create a link that will tell members where to find their badges in their profile. In this post I would like to direct members to their profile with a link. For example: https://meta.discourse.org/users/YOUR-USERNAME-HERE/activity Is it possible to do this in a post using markdown?…

This exists Discourse Meta - The Official Support Forum for Discourse

Wowowow! Thank you. This is the greatest thing.

Can this same solution be used to direct to a users post in a category. eg: I want to encourage my users to create a progress log. I have a Discourse category for these logs so I can link to the category, but I wonder if I could link to their log directly and if they don’t have one it would fall …

Not sure what I’m seeing here. Mostly due to my unfamiliarity with the URL structure Discourse uses. I get the /t/ part and /my refers to the user but what does /11080/12 indicate?

[이미지] Shannon_Rogers: what does /11080/12 indicate? Those are the topic_id and post_id I guess I’m not understanding exactly what you’re asking?

OK thanks and agreed, just sending to the category will work, I was just trying to be fancy. Thanks as well to @Mittineague for explaining the url structure. That will be useful info for the future.

The ‘my’ there could be replaced by anything, including a single dash - it’s taking the place of the topic slug, and the server will 302 you to the correct URL.
