Navigation is always a pain; if we put in links for everything, there'd be no room for the advertisements content. Can't have that.

In the left column maybe makes sense, though, for this feature. Will think on it.

One large improvement would be to make the 'C' in 'https://lwn.net/Comments/unread' case insensitive. I can't tell you how many times I've forgotten that, then assumed I'd completely misremembered the URL, then googled for the post announcing it, etc.

Please do it Jon! I've been using the feature for a couple of weeks and it's a great deal easier to keep up with everything. I only use the RSS feed to remind me that I have hundreds of comments to catch up on - and it doesn't take very long to do that, in the threaded scrollable and killfiled view.

Just seen the new sidebar link to the Unread comments page: many thanks!
