When linking directly to an answer, that answer is shown at the top and just now, [a notice was added](https://meta.codidact.com/posts/283346/283348#answer-283348) to inform the user of this.- The phrasing of that notice, however, seems somewhat unfortunate when answers are sorted by activity, as it always seems to read:
- > You are accessing this answer with a direct link, so it's being shown above all other answers regardless of its score. You can return to the normal view.
- (where most of the second sentence is a link)
- I propose that the text of the notice is
- * *either* changed to read "regardless of its activity" if and only if `?sort=active` (sort by "Active" selected), keeping the text as-is when sort by "Score" is selected
- * *or* changed to read "regardless of its score or activity" regardless of sort selection

When an answer is shown out of order, the notice doesn't account for sorting by activity
