anchor tags on page

Is it possible for the theme or a plugin to interfere with my links while the Add comment link still works?

Highly unlikely. Try using a full url in your anchor links – eg: http://fridayflash.org/test/test-i-write-fridayflash/#list

http://example.com/test/#anchor works for me in Twenty Eleven

The way I did this is to add the “anchor” button to the MCE editor toolbar either using a plugin or the code below (can’t remember where I originally found this code). Simply click on the anchor button and add in the name of the anchor. Then link to this anchor where desired using a regular link with #anchorname as the path. If it is on a different page then use the full URL – e.g. http://urltopage/#anchorname .

Add this code to your the function.php file for your theme (e.g. at the bottom of the file).

function enable_more_buttons($buttons) {
  $buttons[] = 'anchor';

  /*
  Repeat with any other buttons you want to add, e.g.
          $buttons[] = 'hr';
	  $buttons[] = 'fontselect';
	  $buttons[] = 'sup';
  */

  return $buttons;
}
add_filter("mce_buttons", "enable_more_buttons");

You could also use the TinyMCE Advanced plugin to add the anchor (and other) button.

tvansant, try using #name instead of #id

it’s probably not valid code, but it works for me while #id did not.
