I just went to my profile to see if I could get the regular contributor badge. Which I can’t. Anyway I figured out that I owe 50 members of this great community an apology. It shows that I have down voted 50 posts on here. I feel everyone on here is entitled to their opinion. Whether I agree or not I would never down vote someone’s opinion on a subject. All I can figure is I accidentally hit it while scrolling through the posts on my phone. It has a very sensitive screen. So if I have down voted you I sincerely apologize and believe me it was an accident. Jonathan is there a way you can remove those. I upvote alot of posts but never down voted. I don’t think it should even be on there.
cdavis…I just checked my profile and found that I had down voted 3 posts. I did not do this on purpose. It must be a sensitivity issue with phones like you said. I went to the posts and changed them. 3 was easy. 50 might be challenging. It will show up as a -1 fyi.

When I use my phone, I am lucky if I can even send a post, let alone avoid the down-vote icon.

I went and checked just now. I noticed I accidentally down-voted Papasop in a post I don’t even recall ever reading. You should have to confirm a down-vote selection before it goes through.

processhead I agree. Maybe this is something Jonathon could change…especially for the down vote. I can’t imagine too many people on here would intentionally down vote a post!

@ndmike processhead FYI you can change your vote up or down anytime.

@ndmike How do I find the posts that I down voted
-
JoeB Use the “Ctrl” key to individually highlight them and then save. They will show up on your profile. Acts the same as a check box.
zbigjeff got it. I’ll give it a try. Thanks. IT WORKED… HAPPY DANCE, HAPPY DANCE…

cdavis got o your profile and hit the 3 vertical dots. It will show a heading called down votes. Go to each one and change your vote.

@ndmike processhead Being an administrator on many platforms, I would think only an Admin could locate/count the number of thumbs down votes in the database and who did them. Good luck finding them all. Also, for the reason you gave regarding “phones”, I now only post when I’m on the PC. One day, I did 3 down thumbs and corrected them that same day on the PC manually. Admins can make it more recognizable on the Non-PC versions of the site with a “verification” popup when someone does a “thumbs down” vote. While they’re at it, they can synch that “call” on the PC version of the site also. It’s should be a quick code change. But, in IT, they try to say everything takes 40 hours to accomplish and have proved them wrong many times doing it on the fly during a meeting.

Ok, here is how I just removed a down-vote. Go to your profile, find your down-votes list. Select one of the posts you down-voted and go to it. You can click on the down-vote arrow that you originally selected and select it again to remove the vote. Just did it and it works.

processhead Good workaround sir. There’s only one that says it’s a thumbs down that is neither. It was on a day when the system was not happy when reading the surrounding posts. Way to go.

I’ll just give you an up-vote instead for being such a good guy.

@ndmike processhead Thanks guys I’ll see how many I can get to. Might be at it for a while
