in reply to Voting buttons at bottom rather than top?

I have looked at several mock-ups placing voting radio buttons at the bottom of each node, but they all were too easy to see as the voting radio buttons being above the author information (an interpretation that would lead to one voting on the wrong node).

So, as is so often the case, the devil is in the details. If you want buttons at the bottom, then move them for yourself in a way that won't confuse you. If you hope for the site to add an option for putting the buttons there, then produce the mock-up that shows a good way to do it, since I have yet to see one.

    tye, if you could supply the bad ones, I could give a try while avoiding those, resulting in a shorter try-fail loop.

      I tend not to hoard failures. I certainly don't keep track of them for years (I'm sure it has been years since the last time this idea was entertained). There may well be some of them stored in nodes somewhere, so you could try searching for them.

    Just an idea. This only works for replies, not for the node viewed, but what if we placed them on the sidebar above the reply and msg links?
