Comment Notification Email Links

Title:
Comment Notification Email Links

Area:
links

Summary:
One of the links in comment notification emails- "view all comments to this entry"- links to the entry itself, not the comments as one would expect from the name. I think that link would be improved by putting "#comments" on the end of it.

Description:
Comment notification emails have three options at the bottom: "view the thread beginning with this comment", "view all comments to this entry", and "reply at the webpage." The second option- "view all comments" just links back to the entry, not the comments themselves. You have to scroll down to see the comments, which can be annoying on long entries. I think that link would be better designed if it had "#comments" stuck on the end of it, so you go straight to the comments. Really, I don't see any drawbacks to doing so, and I'm sure I'm not the only person to find the current situation irritating. If you want to go straight to the entry itself, there's a link at the top of the email you can use.
