For the past 2 days I have had no votes available to me. I normally have 40 votes each day. This is the first time in 19 years this has happened to me. Have I somehow turned off the voting app? If so, how do I turn it back on? Has anyone else experienced this?

Can someone with the proper access and authority please look into this? Thank you.

    Have you been cloaked?

    "Another effect of being "cloaked" is that the daily vote dispenser is not triggered. If you "decloak", you are no longer hidden from the vote fairy, and you will get a refresher of votes, if there are any coming to you."

      I am not familiar with the terms "cloaked" and "decloaked".

      1. How do I detect if I am "cloaked"?
      2. If I find that I am "cloaked", how do I "decloak"?

        Cloaking is a term for being logged in incognito. I.e. your name doesn't show up in other users.

        IIRC it was meant to protect monks from getting problems when being active during work hours. (And other privacy concerns)

        Your name (= link to homenode) on the top right will be preceded by a # and the [talk] button in the CB will be renamed [decloak]

        The easiest way to stop this is to log in normally.

        Anyway, if you don't know cloaking it's highly unlikely that you are cloaked.
