The iPad and iPhone are especially dangerous when it comes to accidental downvoting. Separating or enlarging the arrows would help those of us with fat fingers.

- ronnier 16y agoYou can use my http://ihackernews.com http://ihackernews.com which works great for mobile devices.
- itsnotvalid 16y agohttp://www.icombinator.net http://www.icombinator.net can't vote, which is not as useful.
- onik69 16y agoThanks - that's very cool. I'm new here. What are some other cool sites that I can use to access this site?
- dgallagher 16y agoPossible fix: Put the up-vote graphic to the left side of a comment (e.g. where it is now), and place the down-vote graphic to the right side (spaced a little bit away from the "link"). That makes it pretty hard to accidentally press one when you mean the other. EDIT (example): http://dave-gallagher.net/pics/hnVote.gif http://dave-gallagher.net/pics/hnVote.gif
- T-hawk 16y ago> Possible fix: Put the up-vote graphic to the left side of a comment (e.g. where it is now), and place the down-vote graphic to the right side I'm seconding that suggestion. It's the minimal possible coding workload, and solves the problem instantly for all time.
- makecheck 16y agoMight want the arrows side-by-side, and just further apart. To me, the separate down-triangle in your screenshot almost looks "menu like" and may occasionally make me hit it for that reason.
- saurik 16y agoI find that the key problem is that the reply on the parent comment is right next to the upvote on a child, so I often find myself accidentally upvoting responses to things I want to reply to.
