Dreamwidth style system discussion

Whether the link works or not isn't the issue; it's the accessibility of not changing the menu from one screen (no comments) to the next (with comments).

Yes, the comments links get you to the page, but when the link option serves a specific purpose: it creates a link that looks like this:

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.
