Issue: easy to accidently down-vote comments on mobile

Open kirkins opened this issue 6 years ago • 5 comments

When using mobile if you try to open the voter list on a comment, it is easy to accidentally hit the down-vote button.

Here is an example of trying to check the vote list, with the gray outline being the size of my thumb:

I have pretty good aim so 8/10 times I hit it fine, but the other 2 times I'll accidentally hit down-vote, which triggers 100% down-vote right away.

I've had that 2 days in a row now.

One possible solution might be adding a confirmation dialog on the mobile site.

@pareshUD what do you think about it? Do you have an idea to improve UX on this?

@Sekhmet also I realized something, I have the slider turned on but when I want to down-vote I only have the option of 100%.

It is this way by design. Downvotes are treated as flags.

Could the icon be changed to a flag and add a confirmation dialog.

I still keep down-voting.

+1 I have lost lot of voting power because of this. There should be a confirmation before this action.
