Thanks! While I have you here, any reason why voting is disabled in the inbox and recent comments on GW?
Also, I submitted a feature request on the GW issue tracker to display AF karma (the numbers next to the Omega signs on LW). This is a problem especially on mobile (Android Firefox) because the “LW” button that takes me to the LW version of a post/comment doesn’t show there so I can’t even click on that to see the AF karma.

Voting from recent comments was enabled for a while, but Said objected to it because he thought people might vote on comments in a knee-jerk way without understanding the context. For the inbox, though, it’s more of an oversight (I just never missed having the buttons there).

Sure, that should be doable. Originally I thought it would require two independent sets of voting buttons, which seemed too weird and confusing, but it looks like that’s not actually the case.

In that case it would help if the Permalink button (which I have to first press in order to vote) goes to a page that shows the context of the comment. Currently it just shows the single comment, so you’re not really making people see the context before they vote anyway. And I think that would be helpful even aside from this concern, because often I want to check out the context of a comment, and right now I have to press the up-arrow/parent button a bunch of times to do so.

(For the record, I still think this!)
