   Hi there,

   I have a piece of code below tht displays latest comments. However, when i click on the link it takes me to 'site.com/blog/archives/1' for all the links even though they are from different sources.

   Any ideas where im going wrong?

   <?php
   $comments = get_comments('status=approve&number=5');
     foreach($comments as $comm) :?>
       <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title=xx"><?php echo($comm->comment_content);?></a>
     <?php endforeach;?>
   </div>

   I think you may need to use something like echo htmlspecialchars( get_comment_link( $comment->comment_ID ) ) instead of the_permalink()

   How would that work with the above code?

   i get this result:

   http://www.site.co.uk/blog/archives/1/comment-page-#comment-

   what is displayed and the link points to:

   http://www.site.co.uk/blog/archives/1

   If you still haven't solved this, try this code:

   <?php
   $comments = get_comments('status=approve&number=5');
     foreach($comments as $comm) :?>
       <a href="<?php echo htmlspecialchars( get_comment_link( $comment->comment_ID ) ); ?>" title=xx"><?php echo($comm->comment_content);?></a>
     <?php endforeach;?>
   </div>

   Mike
