Show score value along with score bar/icon

+1

Show score on the horizontal score bar. When I started browsing first time I didn't know what the horizontal bar with green stripe in it is for. Took a while to figure out it is score. Wouldn't it be more useful if we add the score value around the score bar?

Recently implemented score on hover
trichoplax‭ wrote about 1 year ago

The score is shown when you hover over the vote counts. This was implemented recently so it's only been available for the last week or so.

I think this is an improvement over no score at all, but it may not be obvious that it's available, and it doesn't help mobile users as there is not currently an alternative to hovering, which requires a mouse.

Would you want the score to be shown on mobile using a tap or long press to account for not being able to hover, or would you prefer the score to be shown immediately without needing the user to reveal it?
