In another post Dani said we would be able to change our vote, but I have not seen that ability yet.
[edit]Oops! yes that does work afterall, I was able to toggle from 1 to -1, but not from 1 to 0. I guess that makes sense because 0 represents no vote.

Don't PM me with questions -- you might get a nasty PM in response. If you have a question then post it in one of the forums.

Lazarus here!
Am having 2nd thoughts about this now. Seeming to work to an extent - better that I expected - on my second helping of humble pie.
However, I'm seeing a few negatives for the first post of a thread. Would it be more prudent to disallow voting on a question? I realise that some threads don't start with a question but perhaps with a suggestion, comment or challenge. Some newbies have received negative votes for relatively innocuous questions. It must be really disheartening. Contributors can always ask for clarification or further info if required. Forums rely on questions as well as good quality solutions. I would imagine it's the equivalent of being "flamed" for a newcomer to the site.

To analyse;All while the voters remain cloaked!!
- first a voting system to agree/disagree with opinions/posts
- then we see on profiles a "notation" of neg v's pros votes
- now we have the entire tracking of voted posts
Now all this is fine and dandy, but consider this. On the old system, rep-hits/comments were not anonymous, so one could evaluate hits based on who was was doing the "repping", as well as reviewing said comments. This means two things:This new system is blind on all fronts.
- ppl looking up another's profile could evaluate the credibility of rep comments
- ppl being maliciously targeted could report the offenders
Now I'm looking at my own threads - and yes I know I know am capable of ruffling a few feathers when I set my mind to it - and have taken hits on posts/threads that, while being completely harmless, simply wasn't up someone's alley. As a result, public rep goes down a notch for nothing. Given the feedback, can see I'm not the only one who has concerns over new system. While "votes" remain anon, while hitting the target's credibility, it is wide open to malicious use.... not happy Jan! If ppl want to either vote or Rep-Hit, at least keep them accountable.... it removes room for abuse.
Thank you, kaninelupus
I was going to add to this thread, but you have done it for me.
Thanks again

Or better yet, why doesn't the person who down voted my reply man-up and say why.
Am I missing something here.
Sure seems like a sure-fire way to discourage people from posting and possibly not even returning to DaniWeb.
