@eviltrout To reproduce the behavior:

- Open a long topic, e.g. [https://meta.discourse.org/t/easy-way-to-change-preformatted-text-code-button/16760](https://meta.discourse.org/t/easy-way-to-change-preformatted-text-code-button/16760)

- In its first post, link to a post far down below, e.g. Add something like this in post #1: `Testing link to [post #19](https://meta.discourse.org/t/easy-way-to-change-preformatted-text-code-button/16760/19).`

- Reload the topic (make sure the post ID isn’t in the URL): [https://meta.discourse.org/t/easy-way-to-change-preformatted-text-code-button/16760](https://meta.discourse.org/t/easy-way-to-change-preformatted-text-code-button/16760)

- Now click the link to post #19 in the first post of the topic. You’ll notice that the page reloads to take you to post #19. Like I said, for consistency, clicking the link should be similar to the “go/jump to post” button. That is, the page shouldn’t reload. It should dynamically (ajax or whatever) show the post.
