As of today, there is no easy way to obtain a link to a specific comment on a package page. Many implementations of forums and comment systems today seem to follow a convention where a comment's timestamp is an unobtrusive link to the comment itself. Some examples are: - phpBB (e.g. bbs.archlinux.org) - GitHub - Disqus - Discourse This patch adopts this convention as well, by making the timestamp a link to the comment. --- Version 2: Removed the CSS rule making the link color same as the text, thus making the link more discoverable. web/template/pkg_comments.php | 12 +++++++----- 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/web/template/pkg_comments.php b/web/template/pkg_comments.php index 3001a34..3bcf1a3 100644 --- a/web/template/pkg_comments.php +++ b/web/template/pkg_comments.php @@ -53,17 +53,19 @@ if ($comment_section == "package") { $pkgbase_name = $row["PackageBaseName"]; } + $anchor = (isset($pinned) ?
