Curious to know why this post has a "unvote" option. I don't recall seeing that before. Is there a link that explains what it does?

Maybe you clicked upvote before coming to the comments?

It’s not this story, it’s a global feature on both comments and stories which serves as a “undo” for fat fingering the upvote button. Before this feature you’d often see comments along the likes of “sorry, I accidentally downvoted you while trying to upvote.”

I see both upvote and down vote on any thread. I used to see only upvotes that flipped to undo. Something changed.

One great improvement of UI for HN, don't ask me how often I fat fingered before.

You got more than (I think) 500 karma is what changed. Downvote is disabled for users before that threshold.

Strongly agreed. I fat-finger quite badly when browsing HN from mobile device; this improvement let me finally stop reflexively pinch-zooming the upvote button before pressing it.

I fat-finger a lot, especially on mobile where these tiny little arrows are a challenge. And one thing I notice is that since both the arrows disappear, you're never quite sure if you did. You have to question your fat fingers yourself, and if you're unsure, Undo gives you the option to take a second shot. But you're never entirely sure.

The undo link says "unvote" when you upvoted, and "undown" when you downvoted. And yeah, after every single click on one of these arrows, I check the undo link to make sure I clicked the right one.

I must admit I never noticed that! Apparently I don't downvote often.

The more you know - Thanks!
