Are you talking about these things? Those are escalation arrows, not upvote and downvote buttons, totally different.
Different how, exactly?
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
Well then they shouldn't affect you one way or the other!
thermodynamics doesn’t care…
Well for starters, they escalate things
And, of course, de-escalate
Ah, how could I have forgotten to include the all-mighty de-escalate *button
edit: arrow*
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?
Isn't that what votes are for? lol
Yes, they escalate things to the top of the page.
