I've noticed that as long as a post has no replies, the "link" option is visible. As soon as someone replies, the "link"/"reply" options disappear, and are replaced with "reply"/"# replies" instead. That makes me go through three additional steps if I want to be able to link to a post, then, because I don't always want to link to the replies or even to the reply option -- I just want to link to the post.
Does anyone know if this is something that'll be fixed in the next code/style push, or if it's a setting I can adjust on my own?

http://user.dreamwidth.org/
as opposed to the comments link, which looks like this:
...dreamwidth.org/303181.html?nc=2#comments
and opens the post at the top-most comment (not the body of the post).
or the comment-on-this link, which gives you a link like this:
...dreamwidth.org/303181.html?mode=reply
and opens the post already jumped down to the reply box.
Neither of those options creates a clean link for when all you want is the post and all comments visible, with top-of-post as top-of-page. If the post's title creates this link, then why have this appearing/disappearing option in the first place?
That's what I meant by accessibility. It's not that it's broken, per se -- it's that it works, but not nearly as well as it could.

But in terms of functionality, it's the same, so.
