   It’s in the mt-config file I believe. It automatically does it on default.

   Also, the type of template you choose could hose it up. This means that you have to make sure the tags in your comments template has the date stamp link.

   I think this should work:

   <a href=”<$MTEntryPermalink$>#c<$MTCommentID$>”><$MTCommentDate$></a>

   Depending on the MT version and the way the template is setup the “#c<$MTCommentID$>” section will need to be changed. That’s what defines the anchor of the comment and sends you directly to the comment you linked to.

   Hope this helps.

   Be very careful when Sean offers to pay you back. You might get a tuition bill in the process :)
