And if that works, we can try with 2 intervening posts.
oh…
This is reply to original post by manually selecting it.
So if you start a reply, and then go back to the original post and press its reply button, Discourse handles it differently than replying to the original post or replying to the thread.
It’d be so much better if each post simply showed which post it was a reply to.

How can I get the URL to display in-line here, and not the imgur album’s name? It is for this album, Lights on the San Francisco Bay Bridge — alas, no more… - Album on Imgur.
I tried using a leading backslash, like here \https://imgur.com/gallery/ud5Ncgl but I don’t want to see that backslash, just the URL.
With two leading backslashes this is what I get, \Lights on the San Francisco Bay Bridge — alas, no more… - Album on Imgur
Does anyone know?
Press the link button, and enter the URL as both the URL and the Optional Title. Kinda clunky but it seems to work.
Thanks!
Test strange characters
ð§ð½âð³
With strange characters, remember that what your audience sees depends on what fonts are installed on their device. Which you cannot know in advance or influence.
E.g. on my Win10 PC with Microsoft Edge browser I see first a weird backwards “6”-like character with the slash on its riser, then a thin-walled box meaning “This computer has no symbol to display this character code”, a typographic “section” symbol, another box, another slashed backwards 6, two more boxes, a “1/2” ligature, a lowercase “a” with circumflex accent, two more boxes, another slashed backwards 6, two more boxes, and a superscript “3”.
The same page on my Android mobile device with Google’s Chrome browser shows the same symbols although the “no symbol available” box isn’t just a simple outline; it also has diagonal lines connecting the corners. And the PC’s box is maybe 80% as wide as it is tall, whereas the Android’s box is half as wide as it is tall.
Somebody on a different device or with different languages installed might see even more or different symbols than I do.
I’ll try these, from my phone.

Converse inverse contrapositive
◆ p → q: conditional statement
◆ q → p: converse
◆ ~p → ~q: inverse; the inverse is the contrapositive of the converse
◆ ~q → ~p: contrapositive
Examples:
● p ➜ q: If it snows heavily they’ll cancel school.
This is “the given”.
● q ➜ p: If school is canceled then it snowed heavily that day.
This is not always true.
● ~p ➜ ~q: If it does not snow heavily, they won’t cancel school.
This is not always true.
● ~q ➜ ~p: If they did not cancel school then we know it did not snow heavily that day.
This is always true.

Good reminder. Thanks.
The characters in my last post display for me exactly as you described. They come from this nbcsports article: LeBron James, NBA Twitter react to Steph Curry’s late heroics vs. Bucks - NBC Sports Bay Area and are the first link to a Twitter post. When I go to the Twitter post, everything displays fine. Perhaps the strange characters are unrendered smilies or graphics.

Nice. Is there a way to do that with italicized letters?
I’m looking into it !
Actually, i think those are italicised ! - more than i’d like …
Also trying to get it left justified, don’t need it all the way over there !
Yeah, I meant without!
