    In 2.5, there’s no text in manage comments that takes you directly to editing a comment. If you have to do a lot of comment editing, this is initially baffling.

    Clicking the commenter’s username opens the comment for editing. This doesn’t make any sense from a usability perspective: Why would clicking on a commenter’s name open that particular comment for editing? The obvious action to expect there is that you’d open that person’s user account as if you’d gone through manage -> user.

    Not to belabor this, but it makes no more sense for the name to go to editing that comment than it does for the name to throw that comment into spam, or delete it entirely.

    I suggest re-adding the edit text link along with the comment-specific actions of unapprove/spam/delete. Name link should only be active for registered users, and should go to that person’s user account page.
