Voting on posts
By misof, history, 10 years ago, In English

Sometimes I want to rate a post by clicking the upvote / downvote button. And sometimes, especially when on my cellphone, I misclick and it registers the other one. Why oh why is there absolutely no way of undoing a misclick? This could be done either by clicking the same button again (returning the post to the state where you didn't vote), or by clicking the opposite button (switching your vote to the opposite one).

  • Vote: I like it
  • +154
  • Vote: I do not like it

I think admins are afraid of losing their upvotes when people get angry. So, they won't put an option for "undo voting" system.

The problem is actually more fundamental — why on earth does a self-respecting website not have a decent any mobile version? Bootstrap it out man.

I guess since this is back, bump.

It's been four years, still no option to change votes.

To add to this, I may also want to downvote a bad comment, but if someone edits it, change my downvote to an upvote.
