Here is a problem I have with LW user interface, please tell me if there is a simple solution I have not noticed:
Suppose someone posted a link post, a few weeks ago, and I have posted a comment below that article. Today I come to LW and a red icon tells me I got a reply in the discussion.
I want to display all the comments in the discussion below that link post, so that all yet unseen comments are marked as new. But the post is a bit old, and I don’t want to browse through the Discussion pages to find it. I would like to somehow get there from my inbox. But without destroying the information about which comments were already seen in the process.
How to achieve this?
Below the reply in the inbox is the “Context” link. Clicking it will only display the reply to my comment, but will mark all comments below the article as seen. This is not what I want.
With non-link posts I usually do the following trick: I click on the name of the user who wrote the reply. Hopefully their reply is on the first page of their recent comment, with a header saying “In response to comment by Viliam on .” Clicking on the article name displays the whole debate, with all unseen comments markes as unseen.
Unfortunately, with link posts, clicking on the article name leads to the linked article, not to the LW debate. So this solution is not available.
A clunky solution: right click on “context” in your inbox, select “copy link location”, paste it into your browser’s address bar, trim the URL and press enter. At least that’s what I do.

Click on the :”Comments” line underneath the Link header on the discussion page....?
Thanks, didn’t know about that!
