left side of my name has a number

far right side of my name has a number

left side of my name is the points of my comment

right side of my name is the comments beneath my comment

I never realized that

also thanks for pointing out the rules of the forum, sometimes people forget

and thanks for modding hn

the bug that i find surprising is when i type a text, i need to make two breaklines to show one breakline

Do you mean the number like [+11] that shows up after you've collapsed a subthread? If you click it, do the comments beneath your comment reappear and the number goes away?

Edit: I'm pretty sure that is the confusion, because it's the second time in a few weeks that this has come up. I've changed the "collapsed" indicator to say "[5 more]" instead of "[+5]". Hopefully that will solve the problem. The strange thing is that it took almost 4 years to hear about this.

Wow, great job of getting that shipped real fast, It's really obvious now

Maybe other people already experienced this issue in the past but didn't really know who to report it to, or wasn't big enough of an issue

I love it when you can take years to fix something and someone will still say that anyway :)

(The same thing happens in the HN inbox. "Wow, thanks for the fast reply"...if they only knew.)

even if its just the fronend?

wouldn't it help if your community of hackers decided to contribute? it seems like a good majority of people are willing to work on it

im assuming that since a lot of people are playing with the hn api
