how to copy a post address?

I am having trouble finding a post address to paste in as a link.

I see the post details at the top right of each post (rather than at the bottom as we are used to). But adding the post details to the clipboard doesn't seem to produce something useful for adding links.

I am having trouble finding a post address to paste in as a link.

but I don't want all the contents, just a link


"Copy embed code HTML" gives me this
<div class="js-xf-embed" data-url="https://xtest.s4me.info" data-content="thread-15"></div><script defer src="https://xtest.s4me.info/js/xf/external_embed.js?_v=b7dd7e41"></script>
and I don't know what that is, but it isn't what I want.
 
I'm not totally sure what you're asking. You want a link that looks like this?

Or like this:

how to copy a post address?

For the first one, this new forum now automatically does URL unfurling for any URLs it can, where it gives a preview of the content, even for forum threads. A slightly annoying way to deal with it is set URL unfurling to false in the code of the post:

Code: 
[URL unfurl="false"]https://xtest.s4me.info/threads/how-to-copy-a-post-address.15/[/URL]

I didn't try it, but I think Unfurling can be disabled for just XenForo forums in the admin panel under Content > BB Code Media Sites.

For the second, it seems the same as the old forum. Copy and paste the title into the post, then copy the link, select the title text in the post, click the Link button, and paste it in.

The embed code is for embedding the post into a different website not using the forum software.
 
Oh actually, I don't think that option to disable XenForo media sites is for this. That's for posts from different websites. For posts from this forum it uses a new tag called [ EMBED ]. I'm not sure if there's a way to disable it.
 
There are two further options: https://xtest.s4me.info/admin.php?options/groups/messageOptions/

  • nfurl URL to a rich preview automatically
If a URL is inserted into a post it can automatically be "unfurled" to display a rich preview of the link contents, such as title, description and image.
  • Convert internal URL to embed
If an internal URL is inserted into a post it can be automatically converted to an embedded rich preview.

I've deselected these options the convert internal URL to embed which just pastes in the URL

@Hutan @forestglip I'm not sure what the best options are here for these.
