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 :)
