Can't track replies to my comments

When I comment in someone else's journal and try to track the comment, it pops up a little thing with a check box that says "email me..." and has a thing to click for "more options" where I can turn off the email, so that I only get notified on the LJ inbox.  Only right now, that "more options" page doesn't show the message I came from, and I can't actually track the message.  Is it broken for everyone, or am I just special?
