It doesn’t seem to work for me, not sure why?
From a post in Sandpit I selected;

It’s nothing to do with ‘Linked topic example - Mobile view’ - that’s just the post thread where I’ve alerted you to the issue.
You need to follow the links, which point to 2 posts in ‘Sandpit’ which should be linked, but don’t appear to be.

I had to try it a few times to understand it. Once I figured it out, it then became “intuitive”

I cannot see the ‘+ Reply as Linked Topic’ any more. Am I looking in the wrong place or has it gone?
