How to Discourse: tips and tricks

Soundcloud links

What you want to paste here is a link that starts with https://soundcloud.com

https://soundcloud.com/krypt/fill

When using the “share” button from the phone soundcloud app, you most likely get a link that doesn’t start with soundcloud.com.
You have to ignore the first “copy link” button, and got to the three dots that open further options, and copy from there.

If you don’t, the link from your phone will most likely be like https://on.soundcloud.com

Those can get very ugly:
https://on.soundcloud.com/RN8K5

Once you’re there, you can still get the good link by using the “share” button on this vertical thumbnail. Please remove whatever is after the question mark, including the question mark:

https://soundcloud.com/wiliwow/i-need-an-answer

Edit: something changed, now you also have to remove the “m.” before “SoundCloud.com” in the clean link.

An alternative is to paste the on.soundcloud link in a browser, copy the changed URL then paste this URL here while thinking of removing the “m.” part before “soundcloud.com”.
