How to Discourse: tips and tricks

Does anyone know if there’s a way to undo an accidental flag? Asking for a friend who was trying to bookmark on a very bumpy train :sweat_smile:

I got it.

I’m trying to follow this guidance and end up with a URL like this:

However, it still just renders as the URL and not the embedded player. The track is public.

I think you have a space after the link.

Thank you.

How do I link to a category showing that neat little icon?

like @jemmons did here:

Type a # immediately followed by “elektronauts:science-lab” without the quotes, same for “the-lounge:mission-briefs”.

Removing trackers is a solid tip. It’s a simple way to keep things a bit more private when sharing content with the community.

Same goes for any time you list a link to a product on a online retailer’s page, especially places like Amazon.

I don’t mean to single anyone out, but as an example look at the second post in this thread. That one is like fourteen lines long on my phone screen.

As a general rule you can strip out everything after the first question mark ( “?” ) in the link, including the question mark, and the link will still work. I test my work when doing this but it seems to work in general.

I sometimes wonder if links get left in this forum to track, and perhaps take commissions ? ( That’s done other places, right ? )
