When hiding the first and then the last story, this was the result: https://news.ycombinator.com/snip-story?onop=news&id=1207282...

I guess that's not intended...

Collapsing threads! Thanks!

There were no multi-level collapsible threads, so I'm replying to your post to see it work :)

And thank you for extending the test case!

Great features!

Request: Feature 5 most-popular-by-day is almost exactly what I've wanted for a long time, except in RSS form - a feed that updates once per day with the top 30 stories from the previous day in the order of most time on front page. None of the external HN-specific RSS generators do it quite right.

Damn it, first bug. Ok will try to reproduce. Can I email you if we can't?

Edit: this should be fixed now. Thanks!

I bet whoever has the top comment on this one is going to see their karma go up and down as everyone tests out the unvote and undown feature. :)

I tested it on you, and left the upvote. :)

Collapsing threads! Thanks!

The problem is that the collapse is on the right. It used to be this way on Reddit too, but after users complained they moved it to the left. Right now it's hard to collapse a series of top level comments in a row since you have to keep moving the mouse around a lot.

Feature request to move the collapse to the left side, like on reddit?

Suggestion: Can you move the collapse button to the left of the username? One way I tend to use nested comment threads is reading all top comments, collapsing as I go.

Great stuff, overall -- thanks!

We'll look into RSSifying this if you'll email hn@ycombinator.com to remind us.
