Is there any way to have an intra-post permalink with only a URL hash? In other words, if I want to link to reply #3, can I do that? The regular permalink is a full URL, and if I add that, then it requires a page reload. Since it’s the same page, is there any way to link to a reply with only a URL hash? example of full URL link test: [quote=“elijah, post:4, topic:56880”]well the [quote] syntax works, but it creates an inline quote, I just want a link.[/quote]

Are you asking for something like the link you get with [quote="USER, post:N, topic:M, full:true"] ? You could possibly add just stub quotes. [image] jmsachs:

[quote=“elijah, post:4, topic:56880”] Sort of, but I just want to make it into a link that ends up as a URL fragment (intra-page link). See my “example of full URL link” in the original post.

Off-hand I don’t think that is doable, but it makes it clear what you want.

Incorrect, it only requires a page reload if the target post is not currently loaded. @eviltrout can confirm.

[image] codinghorror: Incorrect, it only requires a page reload if the target post is not currently loaded. odd, we have a Discourse server at our company and if I use full URL links, it does cause a page reload. If a page with URL A links to a page with URL B, how can it avoid a page reload? It seems to work correctly on this page (I still don’t understand how), but maybe that’s just a really fast operation that appears seamless to me.

It may behaved like that because of some other reason. Can you please try again?

I’m inspecting the link and I see no onclick handler, if something is going on, it is very subtle and I don’t understand. I guess it must be some evil Ember magic Preventing and Retrying Transitions - Routing - Ember Guides

Both our company’s Discourse instance and this Discourse instance appear to be using 1.8.0.beta4, although different git hashes: this page: our server:
