- Bug/feature request.
- When you click on a notification about someone responding to you with a comment, it takes you to the separate "comment page". Which is super confusing as it just drops you there without any context. What are they saying, what is this about?
- In order to respond, I have to:
- - Click on the link on top of the "comment page" to read the actual post.
- - Expand the threaded comments under the post to read them in the same window. Including, figuring out _which_ thread the reply is found under, in case you've forgotten it by now.
- - Open up a the "comment page" yet again in order to type a response. During which you won't see the post the comment is about.
- ---
- A temporary work-around to this particular bug could be:
- - Upon responding to a notification, take the user to the _post_ being discussed. The post being the most important part.
- - Auto-expand the comment thread where the comment that caused the notification can be found.
