Did the ability to vote on a thread before viewing it get removed?

Or is there something wrong with my computer? I know a lot of people were talking about this change a while back, I'm not sure if that's what happened, or my browser/something is bugged. Thanks!

This was an unintentional change that we just rolled back.

Or I was entirely wrong and this was a mistake, that too

I was just about to jump back in this thread and say that they're back, beat me to it :P

Thanks for the update!

Seems like it, plus they have removed the viewing of a threads vote status entirely (other than inside the thread itself). Maybe in an attempt to dissuade spam voting, voting without viewing content, and voting/viewing based off of current numerical status.

Yea I've been noticing the view count on and off, so I wasn't sure if my end was just transitioning to the change or if there was something wrong. Thanks!

Same here, I'm very confused as to why it randomly decides to show views.

I personally like seeing the amount of votes on a thread before I open it so I'd like that back soonish.

I've seen arguments for both keeping and not (or just allow viewing and not voting, etc), personally I just feel like there's something missing on that side, it's a little unsettling; haven't gotten used to it yet.

You should always be seeing a view count on the discussion list. Is this not always the case for you? Can you post a screenshot?

This is what it looks like for me, anything else you might need to know?
