#9350 closed enhancement (duplicate)
Unclear link to browse post when on edit-comments.php

Description
When I get an emailed comment notice, I can click to approve. That takes me to http://[url]/wp-admin/comment.php?action=mac&c=[comment ID]. I click approve and am taken to http://[url]/wp-admin/edit-comments.php?p=[post ID]#comments.
The problem is that at edit-comments, the link to the original post is named # (pound sign). That's so vague that I'll bet the average user doesn't notice it, so he gets a list of comments utterly divorced from what they are being commented on. I have used WordPress for a few years, and I didn't "get it" until just now while typing this issue (was going to report the lack of a link).
Solution: use something more obvious than # (pound sign).

- Milestone changed from 2.8 to Future Release
Punting due to feature freeze. Reconsider with next release.
FWIW, will look at making the comments interface clearer in general in upcoming release.

See #9772, with a patch
The edit-comments.php is already pretty cluttered, so I personally don't believe that changing the # sign will help.
