[Features] Improvement for Up/Down Arrows

Redirected here from /t/lounge.

So I noticed that the up/downvote arrows only appear when hovered over. Which seems cool, however it does back going back to browse a page more difficult. On reddit (I know, I know, an overused comparison), I could glance at a page, see my orangered arrows, and quickly pass over content I've already read. Several times already, I moved to upvote a comment, then saw I had already voted on it. Which seems a bit frustrating for me, though it might just be anxiety over a new system.

But I do like the fact vote counts are generally obscured on the page. Would it be possible to just show the green/red up/downvote arrow next to a comment once voted? Don't change anything until you vote, but once you do it simply shows that you already voted on a comment. Hovering over it would show both arrows and the vote count still, as usual.

I'm not married to this idea if someone has a better way of doing it, but I would like to see some way to visually mark comments I've voted on when revisiting posts.

    A "Visited" or "Voted" tag that shows up next to posts/comments could work as well.
