Hacker News UI Broken?

Is this a new Hackernews Feature or is it a bug ?

Yesterday when I would click favorite the little up arrow to the left of the number would go away after clicking favorite. Now it is remaining so I can no longer know which stories I marked as favorite.

    It seems like behavior changed from "favorite" also automatically upvoting to "favorite" not being connected to voting, yes (which IMHO makes sense, since people likely use favorite also as read-later lists etc, similar to how GH stars don't really mean anything specific).

    As usual, for an authoritative answer e-mail dang through the contact link in the footer.
