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)

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.

Migration of MSO links to MSE links
Jan 3, 2014 at 17:56 comment added Flexo - Save the data dump Mod @jos yes right click - left click causes a whole bunch of network traffic and loses what I've typed into form controls in Firefox.
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)

"declined" tag was removed, removing reference to it
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 10:59 comment added ChrisF That is new then.
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?
