I've perused a few topics that go into the particulars of moving the forum topic link shown (normally) atop the post content to a different place. Let's say I'd rather set my head on fire and put it out with a sledgehammer than dealing with the core code hacking involved. 

So… since I've seen a few plugins that offer the choice of producing their output either above or underneath the post (and I'm really only talking about picking a position relative to the post itself – not in sidebars, headers, footers or other nightmarish exotica) would it be possible to offer in a future release an option to switch the position to right underneath the post?

Here's the reason: in excerpts and feeds, the (static) text of that link shows up too – which I'd prefer to avoid, as feeds with excerpts starting with invariable and repetitive text may put people off.

(Edited to add another argument: consistency – say, in the post you type “see the link above for additions” while in the corresponding forum topic it actually shows underneath – so by choosing a display for both as underneath, such references would remain coherent and correct, no matter which of the two you read.)

Just a suggestion… Which you probably already had in mind for quite some time.

That is, if not already implemented in the 4.1 betas (I'm still running 4.0.x)
