Matt,
Great to have a detailed problem definition and steps so far – really useful.
Couple op quick questions
1. Is this happening to just new posts or have old posts stopped showing links?
2. if just new posts, can you try with both front end (user view) and back end (dashboard>topics>create new topic)
3. Can you just confirm that it is both topics and replies.
4. If old posts are still working, can you just try going into one (edit front end) and just click save – I want to see if this is something being added on save.
Then we’ll see where to go from there
