Thanks. I was expecting a big block with the word ‘Link Post’ somewhere, instead of just the chain link. I’m only used to looking for that icon in the comments section to link to comments. It’s just that in the comments the icon is so small I could never tell if it was supposed to be an image of a chain link.
[Writing this four months after habryka’s comment was published.] I’m confused. I don’t see any ‘chain link’, other than the usual permalink between the timestamp and the karma score. Evan did say that the icon was very small, but at least on my computer, the icon is not merely hard to see—it’s invisible.
I’m mentioning this primarily because it’s potential evidence of a bug in the code, which the admins may want to fix. But I’m also personally interested in the post to which the original comment refers.
Ah! I interpreted your ‘Edit note’ as replacing the original comment and noting that its contents had been turned into a post. In other words, I didn’t understand you were referring to Evan’s post, but thought instead that the comment was self-referential. Maybe ‘Admin note’ is more appropriate for these comments? In any case, not very important.

This has since been changed. Link posts are now identified by the initial paragraph saying “This is a linkpost for X”. No small hidden link icons.

Ah, I see. Sorry for the confusion. I usually say “Mod note” these days.
