AIBU to let Times subscribers know how to make links that let you share a full article?

Because only a couple of us seem to know how to do it, and others assume the links are behind the paywall and C&p the whole thing...

Here is an example of a link - note it has 'shareToken' in the URL (there are other threads discussing it, thats not what this thread is for, its just the example I had in my clipboard)

https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/even-asking-questions-is-now-transphobic-ztk3rlrfk?shareToken=28c0436fcf3ec5c31efe376d1b74f8f5

You should be able to read all of that.

To make get the link, on the mobile app you should see Save and Share somewhere near the too of each article- click share, then Copy. On the ipad app its the icon with the up arrow in the bottom right corner. I only found it myself by accident!

Thanks very much for this - very useful. The Times is the only mainstream newspaper that is covering the enormous issue of gender identity and the impacts on women with any depth

I don't have a mobile app however. Could you post a ShareToken link to this article?

Many thanks

I think that is linked in one of the other threads, so I won't do it at the moment in case I want to use todays links for something else, if thats ok. I've still not worked out how many per day are allowed.

Also further info - apparently the 'copy link' option isn't present on all platforms, but someone worked out they could choose the email option, then the link appears in that from where in can be c&p'd
