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 …

[image] vinothkannans: The JavaScript doing that magic :slight_smile: Please no citations of “magic”; if you know how it works, please let me know. 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 so…

[image] vinothkannans: It may behaved like that because of some other reason. Can you please try again? I did try again, it is still doing a page reload, which again, is the behavior I would expect. Both our company’s Discourse instance and this Discourse instance appear to be using 1.8.0.bet…
