    As someone that tries to condense posts and comments, I have ‘Show action bar by default for comments’ disabled. Now, as score location has been altered, I’m not able to see comment score. More problematic is there’s no longer an indication of whether I have already voted on a comment or not.

    In order to get this information now, I either must enable the action bar for every comment which fills a lot of the screen with buttons that I don’t need, or press and hold the comment to expand the action bar manually. This is a reduction in displayed information that doesn’t seem proportional to the benefit of a ‘cleaner’ style.

    At the very least, I’d think the score should be put back next to the commenter’s name when the action bar is disabled.

      I noticed this as well and agree with everything you’ve said. Hopefully it’s something that can be easily addressed for the next version, I doubt there’s many people that would prefer to keep it as is when the comments action bar is disabled by default.
