Are you talking about these things? Those are escalation arrows, not upvote and downvote buttons, totally different.

it causes the device of the poster to operate at 1°F higher or lower, depending. (up= lower temperature)

But I'm european, I don't believe in °F

Yes. That's what I see. I had no idea it wasnt upvote/downvote as I use jerboa.

So the escalation arrows just push a comment to the top?

[–] WassupDoc 10 points 2 years ago

Isn't that what votes are for? lol

[–] L3s 3 points 2 years ago

Yes, they escalate things to the top of the page.
