[BUG] "Go to Comment" Doesn't Work on Big Threads

I'm not sure how to reproduce this as it's relatively intermittent, but it seems to happen most often on large threads, almost guaranteed on huge ones. When looking at a thread's new comments by clicking the New button on the main page of a board, clicking "Go to Comment" will frequently pull up the OP and no conversation at all under it. Here's a bulleted repro:

  1. Be in Discussion View.
  2. Find a thread with a New icon.
  3. Click the New icon.
  4. Find a new comment and click Go To Comment.

You will be rerouted to a page that just has the OP and no comments below it. You can click Return to Full Discussion and it brings you there, but you lose your place and all New posts are considered read. I am aware this has been talked about a lot and has existed for months, but I figured I would write it in the current format as per the sticky.

THE SYSTEM WORKS!!! Brownie points for all, though because I don't actually have brownie points to give out, have a Doran's Ring instead :D item 1056

We were able to reproduce the issue and have added it to the bugs queue. Seems like something to do with the way the 'Go To Comment' link is functioning in the 'New' view.

I've noticed this usually happens when the comment is beyond the "show more" option. I can imagine there's a hiccup when the URL for the comment is to a 'hidden' element.
