A little buggy sometimes, where it might go off-screen, usually way above the area I'm looking at. I have to shrink the view to about 30% or so to find it again. I find it really useful, otherwise, saving me tons of clicks. One question to developers: Do you have a Firefox version available/in the works? The only one out there sucks, just pulling the entire post and all comments into a frame on hover.

Works great with old.reddit, still not with the new reddit. Occasionally the comments can be collapsed only by clicking the [x] rather than anywhere on the page. The ability to vote will be nice. Also, would like to see the extension add the comments page to the browsers Visited database, so reddit's "New" flag will show if any comments are later added to the page. Very useful, nice job.

Used to have an autohide feature but now the option is gone. Was wondering if it was removed or just a bug. Still works fairly well though, just annoying to have to click the X or another link.
