I apoligize if this issue has been addressed elsewhere. I haven't had much time today to search around the forums.
When I get an email notification about a new comment, the link is in the format of:
https://opengameart.org/comment/<commentid>#comment-<commentid>
The problem with this is that if the comment is deleted, I am taken to a page that simply says that the requested page could not be found. It would be nice to know where the comment was originally posted at least. So, I think it would be better to have the links sent out in the format of:
https://opengameart.org/content/<title>#comment-<commentid>
or
https://opengameart.org/node/<nodeid>#comment-<commentid>
Edit: The only issue with this is that it will not explicitely state if a comment was deleted.
Yeah, I noticed that too. That format suggestion is not a bad way to fix it since it would still lead to the page, even if it couldn't anchor to the specific comment. I'll see what I can do.
In the meantime, what was the commentid? I'll track down what happened to that one in particular for you.

Ok. hopefully I didn't break anything. Let me know how the "alternate" link looks when you get notified of this comment.

Thanks MedicineStorm. I will let you now how it works when I receive a new email notification.
And don't worry about tracking down any deleted comments. This had just happened to me a few times in the past & I didn't get around to posting about it until now.
Oh! Sorry! I didn't read your last message carefully. I'll check it out now.
Nope. "Alternate" link doesn't work. It showed up in my email as https://opengameart.org/node/Feature.
Note: If you are going to use "node", it should be /node/<nodeid> not /node/<title>. Otherwise it should be /content/<title>. Does that make sense?
Edit: Oh, and of course for the forums it would be /forumtopic/<title>.
Edit: That might be a good reason to use the "node" version, since forum topics can be linked to that way just like submissions:
Edit: It also makes for a much shorter link, generally. See above as opposed to:

Ok. I tried a different node tag, but we'll see. It may not be the part I think it is still, but I'm getting closer. :)

That one worked. :)

Ok, new problem discovered; it doesn't go to the correct page if there are multiple pages of comments. Will have to look into it more.

Oh, interesting.
