I was wanting to bookmark a particularly good comment. Of course, one can save the permalink, but the Bookmark feature is so handy.

Well phooey. I wish it were available at the comment level.

Take the permalink address...

[div class="greatest-toggle" style="margin-top:0px; text-align:left;"]
  http://demu.gr/?com=view_post&forum=1256&pid=10567[div class="about" style="font-size:1em;"]  http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1256&pid=10567
... and turn it into a thread view address by removing everything but the numbers after the last forward-slash...

[div class="greatest-toggle" style="margin-top:0px; text-align:left;"]  http://demu.gr/125610567[div class="about" style="font-size:1em;"]  http://www.democraticunderground.com/125610567
... that page will show a bookmark button.

Sometimes the comment itself when recalled doesn't have enough information for me to remember the context. In those cases, I turn the bookmarked URL back into the permalink format by adding ?com=view_post&forum= after the last forward-slash and then &pid= after the first four numbers. (I just open a post in permalink mode to copy that text.) To give me this again:

[div class="greatest-toggle" style="margin-top:0px; text-align:left;"]  http://demu.gr/?com=view_post&forum=1256&pid=10567[div class="about" style="font-size:1em;"]  http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1256&pid=10567
Fairly easy for desktop users, but might be a little bit too much effort on some mobile devices.

I am impressed. You really know how to focus -- above and beyond the call of duty.
