comment score is not visible to other users? #14

Closed collinanderson closed 6 years ago

collinanderson commented 6 years ago

it says "the comment score is not visible to users other than the author"

isn't it possible to see the score if you collapse the comment?

tedmiston commented 6 years ago

The number to the right when you collapse a comment is the number of comments that are hidden by collapsing.

There's no way to see comment scores for other users.

collinanderson commented 6 years ago

Ahh, good to know. Is that documented? That would be nice to add to your list.

tedmiston commented 6 years ago

Let's see if the maintainer chimes in about this one — I don't have a strong feeling either way.

vitorgalvao commented 6 years ago

I don’t think this one is worth adding. Before collapsing it says [-], and after it says [+x] (x being the number of comments). I doubt the amount of times it causes confusion is higher than the amount of times it did not.

minimaxir commented 6 years ago

It might be worth clarifying what the x means.

I just sent a small PR https://github.com/minimaxir/hacker-news-undocumented/pull/17 that covers this.

Thanks!
