Great to hear.  The rational in placing the permalink in the form view was that we think the link will primarily used in notifications, reminders and calls from other systems i.e. the user may not need to have it up-front.  By layering items in the interface like this we are able to keep things looking neat and simple.  But we recognize configuration is key to happy users so thanks for the tip!

I agree with dspence, I think the less clicks, the better, even it it’s just a hyperlink button that says “permalink”
