This may sound trivial and may have been mentioned before (I couldn't find anything about it), but one thing I've wondered for a bit is why the ++ and -- buttons are at the top of the posts?

I'm sure Everyone reads the entire post first before they vote (right? right? ;-) so why would we want to make them scroll all the way back up to the top of the post?

If this took more than a few minutes work (I'm guessing it would) it probably wouldn't be worth it but in theory this would be a better layout would it not?

p.s. If you're reading this you may now vote on this node :)

  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
