Jeff, it seems you changed your comment system on front.

It's no longer possible to access a specific comment by its permalink. I have to go to the address bar an click enter after the page and comments are loaded.

It seems comments are loaded into the page after the page is loaded, using javascript. This doesn't play with comment permalinks, that points to bookmarks (indicated after a # in the url) and automatically scrolls to get the desired comment into view, as we are used to.

It breaks WordPress' comment permalink system completely. I either use the comments RSS feed or the # link in the "Recent comments" widget.
