I love this horizontal line thing! (Though the implementation needs work.) I'd never thought of that. I tried moving the votes to the right. It didn't work.

I'd rather see a new line be made for the votes. The things on the current line: "permalink, save, report, reply" as well as the new additional could be customized in preferences regarding how much or little information you want viewed. Also, I'd love the option to have:

• words ("permalink, save, report, reply")
• words tinted (slight non-distracting colours)
• words vibrant coloured (very visible)
• icons monochrome (small and not distracting)
• icons colour (as in your illustration)
• icons custom user-defined (aka themes)
• options to toggle each individually

As for voting, I'd like to see it just like IMDb x2 - with 10 stars for your vote, the total average and the number of voted - for both insightful and fun. This may be too much for some folks and they can go to preferences. If they really want they could remove their ranked 0-10 voting option and make it simplified binary for 0 off or 5 average.

Alternatively, it might be good to put the 2 vote scores under the thumbnail. Especially if they get around to adding the custom size preference for larger thumbnails.

More alternatively, it might be worth having a secondary little score box, exactly where the expando currently resides, but across the 2 or 3 lower lines, thus pushing the expando and it's line, the next words line, and my fictional 0-10 voting x2 line a little to the right to make room for the score box. One thing I learned testing things justified to the right is that some things need to be anchored in a visually consistent location, like the thumbnail, the score box, and the "comment" option.

While we're at it, I'd also like to see these features: read/unread, flag/unflag, highlight/unhighlight (saved indicator?)

In your scenario the percentage doesn't tally those who've looked but not voted, so it makes it moot.

I've still not used the hide. I don't know if I can unhide.

Also, it'd be great if you chimed in on /s/SaiditCSSthemes too. It kinda died out. I'd like to get a conversation going there about how to improve the design of SaidIt in a forum. I took it upon myself to develop an "Ergonomix" CSS theme (ie. /s/DecentralizeAllThings/) primarily to make SaidIt easier to read, with a pragmatic colour scheme and touch of style. I have another day or two on it to finish it, with all its pros and cons. I mapped out most of the code to be able to address things I can. I'd like to do another very clean and streamlined mod CSS in the future. But first I'd like to improve SaidIt's CSS. Maybe that's the same thing. I took it upon myself to declare that /s/SaiditCSSthemes might dev a CSS to be used site wide, whether true or not. Unfortunately there are limits to what CSS can do, and rearranging items is not one of them. That's code stuff.
