Posts that have appeared since you last red a page have a pinkish border on them. It’s really helpful when dealing with things like open threads and quote threads that you read multiple times. Unfortunately, looking at one of the comments makes it think you read all of them. Clicking the “latest open thread” link just shows one of the comments. This means that, if you see something that looks interesting there, you either have to find the latest open thread yourself, or click the link and have it erase everything about what you have and haven’t read.
Can someone make it so looking at one of the comments doesn’t reset all of them, or at least put a link to the open thread, instead of just the comments?
The general problem is real, but here’s a solution to the specific problem of finding the latest open thread: just click the words “latest open thread,” rather than the comment that displays below it.
Making that a link to the post would be an easy change. In the case of the open thread it is redundant, but perhaps easier to identify as a link. But in the case of the “recent comments” section of the sidebar, it would provide links not currently available.

I see. I had been trying to click the “on Open Thread” part.
