All good stuff. The HackerNews Enhancement Suite plugin for Chrome really borks the page the now! http://imgur.com/CXaHIqO
Can confirm. Hopefully, the extension will be updated soon.
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 can't downvote. How much Karma do I need to activate it?
Quick, 5 people upvote me and I'll tell you if it kicks in.

Tested upvote, worked. Tested undo upvote, worked. Tested downvote, worked. My testing is complete.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
The argument against that is that with the collapse button so close to the vote arrow, we would be guaranteed to get misvotes, especially on mobile. The undo vote feature would no doubt help with that some, but only so much.
To be honest I would rather have the vote arrow moved somewhere else. I'm often more interested in collapsing a comment thread than voting. I'm not sure if this is something only I care about though.
However, I'll hypothesize that it's preferable (overall) to have more friction on collapsing comments. A lot of great discussion happens in response to even a mediocre top-level comment, and forcing the user to take a few extra moments to skim the child-comments will increase the serendipitous discovery of these nested gems. Furthermore, the problem of a mediocre top-level comment with mediocre nested comments being at the actual top of the discussion is mitigated by the ability for people to downvote the thread, as has been done (with varying levels of efficacy) until today.
Feature request: Cache favorites so they never 404
Archiving pages as they were when they were submitted is one of those harder-than-they-seem problems. We spent some time working on it and decided it wasn't worth the investment it was clearly going to demand.
Please make the Up and Down arrows 3-4 times larger and put a square around them that changes colour when it's hovered. Thanks a lot for these useful additions though! EDIT: An image says 1000 words (slight exaggerated): http://imgur.com/LKyUaSl
