Should I be able to see the unvote link on older votes or is it only available for a limited time or only on stuff voted on from now on?

#102I 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. :)
Finally! I tested on you :) The upvote is awesome, there have many times over the years I've mistakingly hit the up/down and wished for a redo.

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?
For people holding a mobile phone with their right hand and using their right thumb to collapse, works wonderfully.
Is there a reason not to have the mobile version slightly different from the desktop one? You could keep happy both populations.

#1053 doesn't ring true - why should I care what anyone favorites?

#106I have a piece of feedback.
The new collapse button is at the end of the comment. This means that the collapse button's position on the page changes based on username length and duration wording (hours Vs. minutes, etc).
One nice thing about other websites which I won't name, is that you can read and collapse all of the top comments without having to "seek" the collapse button constantly. You can literally scroll and collapse as you read, it is always in the same spot.
The functionality is most welcomed, and I'd take this design over not having it. But it could be slightly better with a subtle design change.

I can't downvote. How much Karma do I need to activate it?

#108Great features, thanks! The one feature I can't believe I lived without that the HN Enhancement Suite chrome extension provides, is highlighting unread comments since your last visit. It actually makes it worthwhile revisiting e.g. a 200 comment thread when there are now 300 comments without just reading all the same comments again and being unable to spot the new ones. If it became supported cross device by HN itsel…
Yes. Another user has argued for this effectively and persuaded us to do some version of it.

#109The "hide" new stories feature is awesome. Thanks for rolling this out. High five!

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.
