Make comment permalink pages more visually distinct from article pages. Right now, if a person visits a link to a comment, it looks like it’s just a really short article with a single comment (perhaps with children). Only after closer inspection do I see that the text of the article starts with “You are viewing a comment permalink”, and the article title starts with “[Somebody] comments on”. The linked comment is highlighted in yellow, but this is not enough to signal to me that it is supposed to be the main content – it could simply mean it is a “hot” or “featured” comment.

One factor contributing to this confusion is that the light grey bar with Comments, Save, Report, etc. is above the comment. The grey bar is usually a footer at the bottom of the article, implying that whatever follows is less important reading. I think on comment permalink pages, the grey bar should be below the comment itself, or given a different look from on article pages. I think more changes are necessary for the comment permalink page to display its comment in the most useful, organized, and readable way, but that’s a start.
