No way to clear voting forms?

Occasionally, I'll ++ a node or response, then upon re-reading it realize that it doesn't deserve a ++, but doesn't deserve a -- either. Currently, there's no straightforward way to correct my folly. Less than straightforward ways include just not voting on that node, or going far away and coming back (reload in Mozilla keeps form settings, as do back and forward).

I'd like to see one of three things, in order of preference...

A third option, between ++/--, to just leave that node alone.
"clear form" button added somewhere on pages with ++/-- buttons
An entry in the FAQ about how to use a bookmarklet to accomplish this

There is already a way to do 1. above. On your User Settings page, change the setting for Null vote:	[reply]

Uhhhh...Oh. :-) I searched through the FAQ for about half an hour without finding this; it didn't occur to me that it might be in user preferences at all. A FAQ entry making it more obvious how to do this would be nice. Thanks for the tip!	[reply]

`SHIFT-reload` in Mozilla doesn't keep form settings. And if you use the `talk` button, the form is reset as well. Abigail	[reply]

Go to your user preferences and set the 'Null vote' pop-up to on. Done ;-)	[reply]

The Konqueror browser found in KDE allows one to click a previously selected radio button again to unselect it. Personally it's not enough to make me to switch from Mozilla, but it is sort of cool, and I believe it's a feature unique to Konqueror. bassplayer	[reply]

There's a bookmarklet for Mozilla that allows you to do this, too. See "allow no option" at: http://www.squarefree.com/bookmarklets/forms.html	[reply]

Others have already told you how to accomplish #1. But I do this through option #1. If you have the chatter nodelet on (most of us do), then press the button named "talk" and see what happens. :-)	[reply]
