Here’s how to make comments on old posts without the new comments link:

For instance, with Morning Deals roundup, right click on the post’s name and get this url:

http://www.consumerist.com/consumer/shopping/

We then “View Source” (View->Page Source or CTRL-U in Firefox). CTRL-F and search for the Morning Deals headline. Above this is the div id which looks like this:

[ div id=”morning-deals-round-up-179549″ ]

Add everything in quotes to the URL from before and get this

http://www.consumerist.com/consumer/shopping/morning-deals-round-up-179549

Type .php at the end and blammo!

http://www.consumerist.com/consumer/shopping/morning-deals-round-up-179549.php

You’re in comment land!
