It also adds the ability to annotate and mute other users, plus other UI and UX tweaks. Features: List pages: • Show new comment counts since you last viewed each item - clicking on the "X new" link will highlight new comments and collapse comment trees which don't contain any new comments • Prevent accidental flagging and hiding on mobile by making the "flag" and "hide" controls require confirmation, or hiding them Item pages: • Highlight new comments and collapse comment trees which don't contain any new comments when you revisit an item's comments - you can configure whether or not this happens automatically when you revisit • Default comment folding controls are replaced with a Reddit-style left-aligned control, with a slightly larger hit target • Manually highlight the X most-recent comments using the new "highlight comments" link on an item • Mute users to hide their comments and replies to them - muted users can be managed on your own profile page • Logged out users get a new 'muted' link in the header they can use to manage their muted users • Add your own notes to other users on their profile page - the first line will be displayed next to their comments • Toggle display of "reply" links below comments to make more room for comments on the screen • Increased distance between the upvote and downvote arrows on mobile • Increase the contrast of submission text Navigation: • Hide navigation items you don't use • Add an "upvoted" link to the header to make it easier to get back to previously visited items • Improves mobile navigation by display links below other header contents
