#92Bug: This appears as a "Please read about some new features. [x]" heading, but clicking the "x" does nothing (including after page reload) Otherwise: Awesome! The collapse feature in particular is something I've long wanted.
It looks like this can happen if you have local storage disabled (perhaps temporarily, if you're using an incognito window).
Doesn't seem to be the cause for me. I've not disabled anything (in fact, going into local storage I can see a few settings), and I'm not incognito.

#93All good stuff. The HackerNews Enhancement Suite plugin for Chrome really borks the page the now!

#94I 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. :)
A pessimist would see their karma go down, then back up -- maybe.

#95I hope this new moderator is unbiased and fair.

#96Suggestion: 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!
That's the behaviour I have on the reader I wrote.

Works pretty well
Re: Tell HN: New features and a moderator
#97Still, the most urgently needed feature is missing: telling me which comments I haven't seen, yet. It's a constant nuisance in longer threads. Really, this is much more vital than just about every feature you've introduced over the last months.
This is definitely on the list.

#98Dang those are some nice features! :-) I really really love the collapse feature. Does the collapse persist across new comments being added or are those not collapsed? We'll have to see. And final thought on the stories/submissions vs comments the challenge is that comment is both a verb and a noun, you comment, and you can read a comment. Whereas stories is always a noun. Submission is the correct name for something…
Collapses persist even if new comments are added underneath them, though the number of comments in the tree (e.g. '[+4]') will update.
Comments are submitted, too, though, so the word 'submission' seems oddly ambiguous to me. Also, I doubt I've ever anyone say 'submission' in conversation. People say "story" or "post" and of those two only "story" is unambiguous.
(But I'm happy to change it back if people feel strongly about this! It's an amusing lesson in how you can't change things without being noticed.)

#99Love the changes and thanks for the un-feature. My only wish now is making the up / down arrows bigger, but the un might just make that a moot point.
Is this still written in Arc?

yeah collapse is nice, but curious what will happen on collapsed thread which is added to...
i'm also confused, wasn't there already a "saved" section where upvoted items went previously? seems like all which was done was renamed a few items (and added the favorite which allows marking for later, without giving a vote)
