Ask HN: Aren't the HN voting buttons too small?

24 pointsby SingAlongalmost 13 years ago
Hey guys,<p>I feel the voting buttons on HN are too small. Now that the points aren't visible on comments, I'm not even sure which button I clicked on. I'm worried if I've been down-voting good discussions by mistake.<p>Does anyone else have the same issue? If yes, can we have bigger voting buttons please?

I think its safe to assume that any down votes this post gets were by accident due to the button size.

Yes. The voting button is way too small. In fact, upon first glance it's not really evident that it's even a button. I like minimalist design, but HN has taken the idea a bit too far.

I like the small and discreet vote buttons myself.<p>Try &#60;ctrl&#62;&#60;+&#62; a few times (in Chrome anyway) if you need a bigger target ;)

If you really find the buttons to be too small then why don't you look in to writing (or finding) a userscript to make them bigger/different? I only suggest it because the likelihood that HN is going to change is very low.

Yes.
