| Mar 17, 2023 at 14:39 | comment | added | quiet flyer | Several times I've started a room for discussion of a question or answer (because moderators were discouraging extended discussion in comments) and wished to copy previous comments over to the room and did it via copy and paste-- the point being that I've been an active participant for years now without ever discovering this feature of being able to click on the date and produce a link to the comment! It's definitely not obvious. | |

| May 4, 2020 at 7:48 | comment | added | stevec | It is frustrating that there is not an intuitive link symbol next to comments and that one has to hover over a time stamp to get a link (an unintuitive design choice) | |
| Jan 8, 2020 at 10:51 | comment | added | stevec | Left click worked for me (running chrome) | |
| Oct 17, 2018 at 14:13 | comment | added | Jim Fell | Although this works, it's not obvious / user-friendly. A tool-tip on hover (e.g. "Click to share") would be helpful. | |

| Jan 3, 2014 at 17:12 | comment | added | Joseph Quinsey | "Right clicking on the timestamp"? Left click seems to work well. With FireFox, after a right click, you need to e.g. "Copy Link Location". | |
| Jan 31, 2012 at 10:09 | comment | added | Shawn Chin | Cool. I now see it on the other sites as well. | |
| Jan 30, 2012 at 18:18 | comment | added | Tim Stone | @ShawnChin It expands them, then brings you to the comment. That part's been in place for some time, if you go to your responses tab and click a link to a (hidden) comment on an answer, you should be able to see it in action. | |
| Jan 30, 2012 at 18:02 | comment | added | Shawn Chin | Ah well, I'll try again tomorrow. I'm in no hurry to use this feature. Just curious to see how it handles links to comments that have been folded. | |
| Jan 30, 2012 at 17:33 | comment | added | Flexo - Save the data dump | Might also be I have a script cached with a long expiry for main | |
| Jan 30, 2012 at 17:29 | comment | added | Tim Stone | @ShawnChin Oh, weird...it's been enabled everywhere for me since last night, I even disabled all of my extensions to be extra sure (Since I had to update SEModifications to remove this feature). | |
| Jan 30, 2012 at 17:27 | comment | added | Flexo - Save the data dump | @ShawnChin - I'm not seeing it outside of meta yet. I assume that means it's not made it that far on its rollout yet. | |
| Jan 30, 2012 at 17:21 | comment | added | Shawn Chin | @TimStone doesn't work for me on SO, no matter how I poke it. | |
| Jan 30, 2012 at 17:16 | comment | added | Tim Stone | @ShawnChin It's enabled network-wide (though it's not as easy to tell on non-Meta sites due to the styling) | |

| Jan 30, 2012 at 16:40 | comment | added | Shawn Chin | I see that only on MSO and not on SO/SU. Is this a meta-only feature? I can imagine it being a little tricky if the comment thread were folded. (edit: ah.. just read the link to chat transcript) | |

| Jan 30, 2012 at 10:58 | comment | added | Flexo - Save the data dump | @ChrisF - nope, haven't installed that. Not seeing it on main either and chat.meta.stackoverflow.com/transcript/message/849109#849109 seemed to agree. | |
| Jan 30, 2012 at 10:56 | comment | added | ChrisF | It comes from the SE modifications user script. Have you installed that? | |
