Although @Silas Hundt and @Suyeon Khim , I'd kind of like to know why this accompanied a switch in voting interface. It seems too much like solutions, and the ability to downvote is gone (sometimes you need it). To be honest, I liked the old layout for that thing. But the @ is a cool addition. Something I'd do is make the "In reply to" on one line to avoid confusion between it and the actual message. – Trevor B. · 3 years, 3 months ago

@Trevor B. – I definitely agree with Trevor in that a downvote button is needed. I think it should also be available to downvote a solution as well since many people just state the answer in their solutions and don't provide any explanation regardless of how many times you tell them not to.

I also think there should be some distinguishing feature as there was before between upvoting a solution and upvoting a comment. It is sometimes hard to distinguish the two when scrolling down the page as the only difference is the shade of grey the comment box is. – Cole Coupland · 3 years, 3 months ago

Agreed!

And the preview button doesn't work for me. All I see is a white box like this:
