Link icon to open to same post on front end, from control

Hey @Ditte thanks for sharing! To understand your use case better, could you tell me what you do after landing in the destination? 

I think one of the main use cases here would be to make it easier and faster to track down the right reply when you want to switch between Control and Community. It’s possible that some moderators might prefer to patrol the forums mainly from Control out of preference.

It sounds like the idea here, would be making it so that moderators could switch to Community and fast jump to a particular comment instantly, without having to wade through multiple clicks. The Link To URL option on the front end does a great job of this if you’re on the front end!

While I’m a dab hand at making use of a bulk clipboard in Windows 10, it’s not always as elegant as it could be. And clipboards on mobile are often terrible...

Perhaps a good example of how not having this can be painful, relates to a story I once heard about regarding another well known feedback platform. In the event that a spammer had to be banned and for their spam to be cleaned up, an admin would have to:

1. Go to the front end
2. Grab the users details
3. Copy the user info
4. Go into the back end
5. Locate the user in the back end
6. Ban the user from the back end
7. Go back to the front end
8. Manually locate each post/comment from the spammer
9. Delete each post/comment one by one
10. Reply to a badly affected thread, apologising for the trouble

It makes for quite a slow and clunky UX which makes it a headache to clean up after major spam attacks. A much better UI/UX would allow the admin to either do the entire job on the front end or back end, or provide a way to quickly fast jump to the right place on the other side with one click.

If I’ve pictured the concept @Ditte has correctly, that example could instead become:

1. Go to Control
2. Ban the spammer
3. Hoover up the messy spam that was in the spam/flag queues and throw it in the bin
4. Fast jump to a badly affected thread in Community
5. Clean up the leftover spam and reassure the members

Oops, I missed this one! Sorry @xiaoyu-shen !

I use it to see who liked a reply, which is handy in finding cliques of users :)

Thanks for taking the time to share this idea.

After review, we've decided not to move forward at this time, as this doesn't address a broad enough set of customer needs relative to other priorities we're focusing on. We appreciate you raising it and encourage you to keep sharing feedback as it helps us make more informed decisions.
