Forum link embeds always show the title of the page, not the linked-to post

    If for example I want to link a user directly to a post inside a page, then the embed still shows the name and summary of the page, not the post.

    See example:

    1. Good point. Maybe I can look into fixing this, and also starting to support inline link previews (so won't need to add all links in separate paragraphs, but can get title previews inline inside a paragraph) at the same time

      1. In reply tochrscheuer:

        This should work now (will upgr Prod later today) — let's try, here's a link to my reply just above: (i.e. https://www.talkyard.io/-448#post-2)

        So now the text is from the reply: "Good point ...".

        The link preview title is still the topic title.
        Not sure if it'd be nice with a "reply nr 1" or "post 2" text somewhere. (Orig post = pos nr 1, the 1st reply = post nr 2)

        For example:

        Reply 1 on page The-Page-Title:
        
        Good point. Maybe I can   ...
        

        Or:

        Post 2 on page The-Page-Title:
        
        Good point. Maybe I can   ...
