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 Re: Down Votes: Maybe when the orange team gets cantankerous or chippy.

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.

When I use my phone, I am lucky if I can even send a post, let alone avoid the down-vote icon.
processhead You know Paul i found out that’s the 2nd thing that stops working!! Ok i deserve a down vote… Go ahead. . . I’ll hold my breath. Won’t hurt that much. . . . Will it?

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.

zbigjeff exactly one of the reasons to down vote
-
@ndmike processhead Thanks guys I’ll see how many I can get to. Might be at it for a while

I agree it is pretty easy on my phone as I scroll through the responses to hit the down vote. I have been catching myself recently since I use my phone more than my PC. I have decided that I either need skinnier fingers or a bigger keyboard. I am going to have to check to see if I let any of those slippery down votes get by unnoticed. Found four, gave then the ol’ fat finger salute and they are gone for good.

@ndmike I got it done. Thanks for your help.

cdavis no problem!

YooperDog I agree…I fat finger things a lot. I now slow down and re-read what I type cause I fat finger a lot there too!

@ndmike YooperDog Love the spelling correction modules to assist the “fat finger” syndrome. But, totally dislike the autocorrect ones. So, when I want to spell something wrong or something that’s correct but not in their autocorrect module, I put " " around the word and it let’s it fly.

When I see down votes I’ll just click the thumbs up and make it go away.
Definitely not needed… Unless it involves team blue.

PapaSop Your post is the 2nd one today that moves the “0” to a “-1” when selecting the Thumbs UP icon. What the heck??? So, I just left it alone and replied.
