LInks to specific comments
-
I used to be able to provide a direct link to a comment within a post or a new comment using the Permalink on the original comment. (Like https://examplelink.wordpress.com/2017/09/14/streaming-media/comment-page-19/#comment-24407)
Suddenly, all that link does is post to the top of the Post, which isn’t useful. The HTML hash that would take us to the specific location does nothing, yet the comment Permalink is still offered, although it acts only as the Post’s Permalink.
Why was this changed? It’s no improvement.
My readers have noticed and are not pleased, since this change makes conversation more convoluted.

Hi there!
I copied a permalink to a comment on your site (this one) and it jumped me to that comment when I visited it. Can you try visiting the link above and see if it doesn’t happen to you?
If it doesn’t, please try the following and see if that helps.
* Try clearing your browser cache. Here’s how to clear your browser cache: https://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clearing-your-browser-cache
* Try visiting the link from a different browser.
* Try from a different device as well (like a smartphone).Let us know how that goes.
