- danieltillett 11y agoIt is a problem even if you could modify your vote as a lot of the time I am not sure if I have up voted or down voted a post. I love HN and its low fi design, but this is the one thing that I think takes away from the community spirt here. Intent should always be clear.
- jonsen 11y agoYou could tell from which arrow got disabled by your vote.
- Gracana 11y agoBut both arrows disappear when you vote. [edit] Or are you suggesting a way in which the site could be modified to reflect your vote? In that case yeah, I think that would work.

- crusso 11y agoMany online forums resolve the problem you mention by showing your vote. Disqus, for example, simply shows the up arrow button in a blue highlight if you've already upvoted the comment.
