The voting option on FWR.

[OvaHere]

Has this now been rolled out to all sections?

I've always been able to vote in AIBU but can't in FWR even though clearly the option is there.

I don't think this is a helpful addition for this board especially if regulars here can't actually use it. The strength of this board is nuanced discussion not AIBU style polls.

I think it must be yet another of MN’s IT glitches. The vote option doesn’t appear in the actual thread, and one OP has said they didn’t opt for a vote button.

There was an option to switch it on or off (default on) when I made this thread.

Perhaps it is a glitch. I find it distracting when trying to read the front page.

It's very distracting. Hopefully just a glitch that will be resolved soon.

It was a glitch and is being removed according to a thread on Site Stuff.

although one interesting thing about the voting is it often gives an idea about the number of lurkers - people will vote even if they don't want to comment. I often check on the numbers on an AIBU vote out of nosiness!

It seems to have gone now. Glad it wasn't permanent.

Thank fuck for that. It was very annoying.
