To answer a question you did not ask, here is how you can find the answer to questions of the form “How was a specific comment on this forum written?”
-
Copy the link to the comment.
-
Replace
t/<topic name>withrawin the link.
For the example you gave, that means changing

My comment above did it correctly, so now it looks like I'm gravely confused haha
