in reply to A possible bug with voting?

Please see Voting/Experience System for all the gory details. In short, not a bug. :-)

In long (and quoted:)

If you can't see any radio buttons, then you may be viewing something that can't be voted on or you may not have any votes to cast. If you own a node (you wrote it) or if you've already voted on a node, then you'll see the current reputation of the nodes instead of the buttons. The reputation is simply the number of up-votes cast minus the number of down-votes cast.

• Update:  
Personally I dont see why this node received so many down votes. The links to the Voting/Experience system aren't so obvious that I think this question deserves a downvote. Weren't any of the downvoters newbies at some point as well?! For the record I upvoted your question. People shouldn't be afraid of asking questions here.

    Newbie pontiff? After three years? Not justifying, just not surprised...

      True true. Henceforth all pontiffs will be regularly tested on their verbatim knowledge of the site faqs.

      Failure to recite the faqs sufficiently accurately will result in 6 months forced labour programming PHP on a two key keyboard.
