Message voting feature installed.  Who can earn the most respect?

Looks like the voting feature is available only when using the default theme. I can't use that theme because it tends to only display the signatures of people's posts and not the actual post text.

I've been having a lot of weird little problems lately, but it looks like it's been only me. I've already cleared my cookies and that didn't help. Maybe I'll try reinstalling FireFox and see if that does anything.

I'm seeing a lot of empty posts.  For example, I don't see any text in Stratos' post above.  When I quote him (or if I attempt to modify the message) I can finally see the text.  This just started happening this afternoon.

Is the problem related to the new message voting feature?  I'm using the default theme on Firefox 3.6.2.

In fact, I just posted this and I can't see the text in my own post.  Also, the post is a funky gray color.

Press the Up or down arrow near the post title.

Is this still happening?  There was a cache problem but it seems to be working now...

Yeah, it's still happening for me.  I opened up IE just to make sure it wasn't a Firefox problem but I get the same results.

The problem seems to happen with new posts.  Not sure why, but I'm going to disable it until I can fix it.

Yeah, that fixed it.  If I could, I'd give your post a thumbs up.  ;)

I know it may be low on your radar, but I'd love to see the rating feature added to the Core design as well. It may only have 35 people using it, but aren't those 35 people close to the most active people on the forums as opposed to the 10k+ dead/inactive/banned accounts?

So your saying that if I D/L that mod then I can get the same thing on Core? Or do I have to do something more technical?

The patch doesn't properly apply to core and needs to be fixed.

also to note, the moderate button pops up on your birthday, but doesn't allow you to access the moderator panel.

Odd bug.

Nah, it doesn't do it on your birthday specifically, just at random.  Someone mentioned it somewhere else, and I've seen it a few times, too.
