Hello! :)

Some months ago I've been shown your script about getting individual comment links and I enjoy it. Pretty useful.

However there is one "problem" (or is there?): When I compare [reply] with [link] they look different. I can't for the life of me be sure of what's really changing - maybe it's just the color, maybe it's the font or maybe nothing is changing but the words' size is creating an optical illusion for me - but it is really annoying. I was wondering if you could help on that. Is the font any different between those 2 links? Anything else?

There shouldn't be, can you post a screenshot?

Maybe it's just the change of color...

I think so. Those look like the same font and size to me.

To me it looks like the word "reply" gets enveloped correctly by the brackets while the word "link" has a higher height relatively compared with the corresponding brackets. But maybe it is an optical illusion. Shouldn't the color change though anyway?

The [reply] button will become a Reply button soon. Ed, have you thought about changing the [link] button's styling?

We are currently leaning towards making the timestamp the permalink, rather than having a separate [link] button.

Needless to say, I'd appreciate that happening.
