#142Suggestion: 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 would certainly increase the number of accidental votes.
As it stands, I have already accidentally clicked "ago" and gone to a comment permalink when I wanted to collapse a thread. Not much better.

#143I 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…
That site is reddit, and they too introduced collapsing on the right side of the name. I have faith that HN will change it!

#145These mostly seem like bad ideas: #1 This is the only good feature listed.

Tough crowd. I think all of them have their uses. The good news is you don't have to use them and how others use them is not really your problem. You're speaking about 'people' as if you speak for others, when in reality you only speak for yourself.

#146I 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. :)
Tested upvote, worked.
Tested undo upvote, worked.
Tested downvote, worked.
My testing is complete.

#149Earlier quoted context omitted.

Reddit does it that way, and I haven't seen any of the developers complain about accidental votes.
Because accidental votes are not a problem when you can undo a vote, which is now possible as well.
