Make guide notifications emails link directly to the comment

I received an email today about two new comments on a repair procedure I commented on recently:

There are 2 new replies to topics you are currently watching.

Me too. I had two longer 4mm screws here, and one 3mm screw.
And I didn't pay attention to what holes each screw came out
of. I put them back in a random order and it seems fine.

Because this step requires some force, make sure to double
check that you got all your screws out. I finally got my
gumption up to apply the necessary force required to pull up
the upper case, and after 5 minutes of pulling, I look and
see that the reason it wasn't coming up because I missed one
screw. Ugh.
Also, before you just shove your hands under the upper case,
prying about, think twice: I cut my finger pretty bad on a
sharp piece of metal.

I had to scroll through the notes on four different pages to find the actual comments, so I could see what they were talking about. Same deal if I wanted to reply. This was annoying.

I reformatted your post to add block quotes. It's the [code] tag.

You're right, we should do that. It will make the links longer in the email, which may break some email clients. But I think it's worth it for the more accurate link. By the way, if you toggle the 'paginated' view on a guide, it will show all steps (and comments) on one page.

Ah hah, thanks for the edits. I always end up making silly mistakes (or overlooking things) when I first start dicking around with a system, and iF meta seems to be no exception.

Wow, that is pretty epic fail. Thanks for the heads up James.

At first this was confusing, but I've adapted after the first couple months, if I don't follow I just scroll down.

No need to adapt any more! We have implemented this feature, and rolled it out with one of our latest maintenance updates. Email notifications about notes created on guides now link directly to the step which the note refers to. Thanks for the idea James!
