It would be nice to have some buttons. One to report a comment if it does not meet a certain level of discourse- lol I don't know why they down voted you- and the other to collapse threads.

#722Please fix tabindex of that comment box, it focuses to Search box instead of "add comment" button.

#723The ability to collapse the nested replies.
This would aid in keeping page formatting within bounds, and also in scanning the scope of the threads.

#724The post are not easy to read. It would be better if they are highlighted

#726How about an api for all the posts including archives? The ihackernews.com API is always down and buggy

#727I'm not sure if this will even be visible, but I'd love to have the site with css/divs instead of tables/html styling. This is because I use plugings to manually edit the css to make it look prettier, but I can only go so far when all table are just with no id or class.

#728Perhaps show vertical indentation lines? (Best would be in two or three different styles). In the more popular threads with a lot of comments-on-comments, it gets rather hard to see what that comment down there was actually referring to.

#729Please change the vote icon.. it looks just like the expand/collapse icon in OSX.. The indented replies make it even more confusing. Either that or get Apple to change theirs :p

#730can it be made more difficult to accidentally flag or downvote? i find myself fat-fingering those buttons a lot on the ipad and it doesn't seem very fair to the submitters.
an optional zoom level would probably solve my problems, on the desktop my browser remembers to always keep HN zoomed in a few steps, but on the iPad it's tiny.
