How to remove #latest from discussion links

Hello. I have noticed all my discussion links end in #latest at the end of URL of discussion. Is there a way to remove #latest from the end of URL? Thank you.

There are a lot of discussions on this topic. Have a search on here.
Bottom line: why do you think you want to?
Check out this post made by @hgtonight. Have a great day!
@subdreamer Excellent. That worked. Thank you!
@whu606 Aesthetically it looks better without #latest. Thanks
You realise that for the gain in perceived aesthetics, your users will no longer be taken to the last part of a discussion they had previously read, right?
@whu606 Thanks for the information. I didn't know that.
I can not understand what should be the discussion link - so that I can publish it, for example, in facebook.
In this way? discussion links end in #latest ?
How does Google index discussions with such links?
The link will work provided you have included the thread number:
https://open.vanillaforums.com/discussion/35687
User in the discussion sees in the browser line here such a link https://open.vanillaforums.com/discussion/35687/vanilla-2-5-is-now-available#latest
Where should he look at another link?
Usually on the sites, the topic title is a link to the topic. But here the title is not a link.
I'm not sure I have understood your question.
The #latest part of the link takes users who have already read a thread to the last comment they viewed.
I was trying to show you that after the number, the text is non-critical. You can add or leave off #latest when you publish links, and in fact you can change the text entirely; Vanilla will still go to the discussion.

clicking that link will still bring you to this discussion.

I do not understand, where the user will find the link without "#latest" ?
In other forums engines link appears if you click on the topic name. But here the topic name is not a link.
You can simply use the link with #latest. It will work. If you think the link looks ugly with #latest, you just delete the letters from your url with backspace. Have you tried sharing links? You're overthinking things :P
The date you see at each posting is a link to the comment or the discussion.
In our country, Vanilla is unknown as a forum engine. Users are accustomed to seeing more simple links. Users copy links from the topic name.
Therefore, links to Vanilla can be incomprehensible to users. And I have to think about it))
Which link should be canonical?
