No. For the normal link I used my browser_tools_addon which generates a link with one click or tap with no copying or pasting. I'm using Android too - but Firefox not Chrome. (Doesn't work on iThings.)

For the relative link I had to copy and edit the first. (There may once have been a benefit of using such links on mudcat, but there isn't now.)

If you want to link to a post within a thread, as I just did, click the poster's name in the list at the top of the thread before copying the URL. The URL should then end e.g. threadid=159035#3882185
