Description

This issue was brought up to me in this ticket https://woothemes.zendesk.com/agent/tickets/1296133

Essentially what is happening is that if you are in the reader and you look at the comments for a post, all of the comments will have a username of some sort. All of these commenter usernames are tappable, but if there is no site attached to that username the tap does nothing, so it feels like it isn't working. Is there a way we could flash an alert or something, so that when these are tapped on there is some feedback?

I created a quick video of what I am seeing

Steps to replicate:

  1. Go to the reader and find a post with comments on it, tap on the comment bubble.
  2. Tap on the usernames of the commenters, if there is no site associated with the user nothing will happen.

Research direction

Start in the Reader comments flow by reproducing the issue with a commenter who has no associated site. Trace the tappable username behavior and determine how existing feedback is presented; done means tapping such a username gives visible feedback instead of appearing to do nothing.
