Change the URLs of front page replies to Jalopnik.com/randomnumber?

They used to have text in the name. How the hell am I supposed to know what comment people are recommending?

I noticed that too. It’s screwing with my preferred method of hovering the cursor over the link to identify the comment without clicking.

Did someone like my McLaren joke, or my well wishes to the U2 pilots family? Maybe it was the I can’t drive 55 Ford GT photoshop I HAVE NO IDEA!

Simple.

It worked, and it worked very well.

So the next logical thing to do was to kill it deader than dead.

Exactly! I don't want to actually click on the damn thing.

Yup.

It also allows for true ninja editing now. Maybe it’s time for some hardcore FP trolling.

It was me. I liked your McLaren joke.

Ha ha. Yup, on the FP your sage advice could be hidden from all but me.

ALSO CHANGE WHAT WE’VE ALREADY CHANGED!

Took me a minute to find this old post, but hey I think the Kinja team might be putting the permalinks back to normal.

I just scrolled through some of my recent comments, and almost every other one is spelled out. Not sure why some are and some aren’t, though. Maybe it’s retroactive, and I caught it in the middle of the changeover?
