I followed your testing instructions on your comment. Test passed.
new user so pardon my ignorance but I dont have a downvote button. Do I need to enable it somewhere?
You need a certain amount of karma to downvote. I think it's 500, but I'm not sure because I don't have that much yet. :)
Edit: it's confirmed at 501: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12074198
Just 5400 more days and I'll be able to downvote! What a time to be alive!
I just upvoted you there because I'm nice like that.

And down vote arrows do not appear on aging posts.
I was confused as to why I have a downvote button now, I just realized I barely passed 500 few days ago, woo.
You need to have a certain amount of karma before you can downvote comments. I'm not sure what the threshold is these days.
You get it after 500
There is a karma limit (of ~500) to get downvote privileges.
you need to have a certain amount of karma (number next to your account) for the downvote function to be available.
A few weeks ago I recently obtained the downvote ability at 500 karma.

You need a certain Troll Level.
No, you generally don't get to downvote in HN until your karma is above some threshold that changes occasionally.
I went for iterations - up, down, up, down, up, down. So it seems to track. I left an upvote to make sure it stuck when I come back in a few hours to revisit.
Now put that in a loop to see if they have any memory leaks :)
You are on some kind of genius crowd sourced testing thing, you should start a SaaS!
So was the final state of your vote down or did you change it afterwards? Did you test attempting to upvote twice in a row, downvote twice in a row, etc? :)
There is a bug after you undo your vote for the 500th time :)
I can repro this. Thank you for the instructions.
when does one get down vote power? edit: never mind i read below.
You can downvote?? Are you a wizard?
nice username, i love memes too!
