A number of times, I’ve started reading a topic and then wanted to share it after I started reading it (either on the on the forums themselves or on social media). Only to remember that the URL I copied doesn’t take users to the top of the topic. Just wondering if others have experienced this.

Does it make sense that the URL bar changes? I would expect that the share icon under each post would be used if users explicitly want to link users to a specific reply.
