Besides just having the final vote result (score), it would also be nice to
know how many people have actually voted.
Another very useful feature would be to be able to sort posts in different
ways. Right now they are just listed in chronological order, and for searches
by 'relevance'. But it would be quite useful to be able to see posts sorted
according to the number of votes, or the vote result, or even alphabetically
by author, etc. (Sometimes I'd like to see search results sorted differently,
as well.)
Also, it might be useful to list only the starting articles of threads, and
not all the followups to it. Would there be an easy way to create a composite
vote for an entire thread based on the individual votes of the articles in it?
