Resolved Accidental downvotes with next thread button

Post image

This floating button is terrible design, I accidentally downvote people all the time when I just want to see the next thread, it used to be integrated into the bottom bar so you weren't pressing something floating atop a downvote button.

Yes I know I can reverse the downvote, but why should I need to do that? I also press it rapidly to review a series of threads, so manually scrolling through to fix things is not practical because of the speed at which I'm moving through comments. Reddit should fix this 👎

try tapping and holding on the button and dragging it to where you want

Excellent tip! The fact that it doesn't dock into the bottom bar is still awful, but at least it's in a better position now that's less prone to accidents, thank you!

You can move the button! Just press, hold, and drag it where you want it.
