Had a dream last night in which I was having a conversation on LessWrong—unfortunately, I can’t remember most of the details of my dreams unless I deliberately concentrate on what happened as soon as I wake up, so I don’t know what the conversation was about.
But I do remember that I realized halfway through the conversation that I had been clicking on the wrong buttons—clicking “upvote” & “downvote” instead of “agree” and “disagree”, and vice versa. In my dream, the first and second pairs of buttons looked identical—both of them were just the < and > signs.
I suggested to the LW team that they put something to clarify which buttons were which—maybe write the words “upvote”, “downvote”, “agree”, and “disagree” above the buttons. They thought that putting the words there would look really ugly and clutter up the UI too much.
But when I woke up, it turned out that the actual site has a checkmark and an X for the second pair of buttons! And it also displays what each one means when you hover over it! So thanks for retroactively solving my problem, LW team!
