With the threaded replies, the upvote button on Ideas has been demoted to a footer button on the first Idea post, which is very hard to discover for a user. Please make it more prominent on top of the post again.

    Wanted to upvote but didn’t find the button 🤣😭. Nah just kidding. But still. Make it an upvote button. What you turned it into is NOT an upvote button. One could argue it’s been turned into something to prevent upvotes… 

    The most expensive part of building is the mistakes. That's true in construction. Not so much in CSOps. So ask questions, make mistakes and learn. All views expressed here are my own.

    Agree, it was way easier to find before. And the “show more replies” button instead of pagination is a step back too

    Continuous improvement is better than delayed perfection

    Agreed on the “Show more replies”, especially when it comes to long running posts.

    100% agree. Having it relegated to the bottom of the post, and not as prominent as it once was, makes it harder to see how many votes an idea has.  It was so much easier to upvote and view that detail before this redesign.  It's like it’s actively trying to discourage upvotes.

    Was just coming here to see if anyone else had the same issue.  One of our superusers raised the issue and mentioned how frustrated he got because he thought he couldn’t vote anymore until the tiny “Vote” at the bottom caught his eye.
