Suggestion: 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!
I 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…
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.

I got my downvote ability at around 550 or so...
For me it was 500.
Thanks, folks, for the great improvements! 1. The time-capsule feature is really cool. Traveling back in time to see what sort of tech people were building / what other things were on the front page when X popular product launched is going to be so much fun. Update: it only goes back about a year and a half. See below. 2. Undoing votes has also been something I've wanted for a long time. I've accidentally downvoted/u…
The persistence of collapsing is a killer feature that I wish reddit had.
Try RES :) https://redditenhancementsuite.com/ lots of other nice features aside from collapsible comments (got no affiliation to them, just a happy user).

I'm not sure the number is constant. I think it scales with either the age or the prominence of the comment. I've seen threads where I was unable to downvote top tier comments, even though I could downvote their children.

How long does the "unvote" option last? Permanently? If I accidentally bump the "unvote" button on a comment that's years old, can I re-apply my vote, or only if it's an upvote?
That is a subtle point and I was curious if someone would ask about it! Unvote links last for an hour. This is because the main use of voting data is to rank posts, and that's time sensitive. If we let people go back and unvote after hours have gone by (let alone years), that would be rewriting history, or counterfactually messing with it. Even an hour is arguably too long. Since the main purpose of this feature is t…
An hour provides enough time for the edit to happen, and for you to see it and change your vote.
If this is not a target use case and you only want people to be able to undo misclicks, then 5-10 minutes may be adequate.
I love the hiding feature, thank you. I did noticed I can't hide YC company "hiring" posts. Ex: "GitLab is hiring a security engineer (gitlab.com)"
