In that case, it would be useful to have a vote button near each node eligible to be voted upon. Actually, that doesn't strike me as being especially useful.

On a slightly different tangent, I'd like to have a "you had N votes but you spent N+M" warning every time I ++ed a number of posts in a thread, but didn't have enough votes to ++ all of them. I don't particularly mind voting up the first posts I came to, but it'd be nice to have the opportunity to pick which posts are most immediately deserving.
