I am the only one that finds the recent HN feature change that makes it impossible to upvote older stories annoying?
(I prefer to have all my upvoted stories in one list)
- Stratoscope 10y agoInstead of upvoting the story, you can favorite it. This will also upvote it if it can still be upvoted. You can also favorite a comment - you can't do it directly from the comment thread, but click on the comment's date/time link and you can favorite it from there. You can find all your favorited stories and comments from your user page. The one caveat is that unlike upvotes, favorites are public. There doesn't seem to be a way to create private favorites other than keeping your own list outside the site.
- frik 10y agoI know that. That option is made very clear each time I click on upvote on an old story via an full screen info message. But as mentioned above, I want just one private list of upvoted stories. The changed interface is annoying and less useful. Why not let someone upvote an older story? (maybe without increasing the vote-count)
- Stratoscope 10y agoI'm sorry, I don't know why those changes were made, I'm just a random user trying to be helpful and provide a possible alternative. And I'm embarrassed to say I forgot about that full screen message you mentioned. You're right, the old system did have some advantages!
