Have the "Reply" button take you to the reply form
Area:
commenting
Summary:
If you click on "Reply" from the Recent Entries view, it just brings up the entry and you have to scroll down to get to the comments form. That's not how it should work.
Description:
Think about this for a second. In the Recent Entries view, each entry has three links: A permalink to the entry, a link to the comments, and a link to reply.
The permalink takes you to the entry. The comments link takes you to the comments. Where would you suppose the reply link would take you?
Well, it doesn't take you to the reply form! Instead, it takes you to that entry with ?mode=reply, and you have to scroll down past the entry you already read in order to comment. Wouldn't it be better -- and less confusing to non-Dreamwidth natives -- if it took you straight to the comments form?
This suggestion:
Should be implemented as-is.
