What is "Vote Now"?

I was trying to edit a post earlier and noticed that a "Vote Now" button has replaced the "OK" button. However, on the next attempt, the "OK" button was restored and all was well.

You know, now that you mention it, I've noticed sometimes that I get an unusual button in that same place. I'm having a hard time remembering what it was :redface:, but I don't think it was "vote now". I wish I had taken a screen shot of it!
 


HA! I did it, I got it to happen. I edited that post, clicked "Go Advanced" and got this:

Let me try that too. This was done with the quick reply text box.

Then I hit edit and 'go advanced'

Editing now, all seems normal except maybe a notice a small change in lay out? Not sure.

Tried it again, no vote now's here.

Maybe a browser issue? I use IE8, or Greg solved it already?

What browser are you using lisab?
 


I'm on GoogleChrome and not getting the "vote now" button either using "reply" or "go advanced". Spiffy new advanced reply set-up, though, where you get to review the thread. That's super cool. I've needed that for a long time.

I'm using Chrome too, like Georgina. Ranger, are you using Chrome?
 


I have used Mozilla, Safari and Chrome and I have had this issue for years. But, I just never said anything. Once I figured out that hitting 'go advanced' took care of the problem, I guess it just became second nature and I just kind of forgot that it's not[/] supposed to do that.
 


I am making a test.

And don't all vBulletin boards let you review the thread in advanced reply? At least all of the ones I have seen do that.Edit:

Nothin, still Save Go Advanced Delete Cancel
