Awesome! That was one of the most asked-for feature!

And it is implemented on comments too, as a title text: Mousover the karma score of a post or comment and a little popup will give you the percentage of positive votes!

(a side effect of this is that if we see a comment at 0, we can't immediatly differentiate 1 upvote and 1 downvote from 50 upvotes and 50 downvotes, but that's pretty minor)

Many thanks to the trike apps people, and whatever volunteers helped implement, test and deploy this!

Edit: This specific fix appears to be thanks to Wesley Moore.

You upvote the comment, look at the new percentages, and revoke the upvote.

Yep! Hence, "immediatly".

(You can't do that on your own comments though)

John implemented the new feature, I just integrated it and deployed it.

Demo: upvote or downvote this comment all over the place.

And for comparison - whatever you do, don't vote on this comment.

(note: this has been voted on. Go find your own non-voted comment somewhere. Sheesh)

Well, that didn't last long... Some men just want to watch the world burn.
