When I click the “+1” button next to a post, it becomes greyed out (as it should).

However, when I reload the page, the “+1” button looks like I never clicked it at all. It’s all red and unclicked-looking. If I click it again, it turns grey, just like it did the first time. However, if I go to the “Posts upvoted by (me)” page, it seems like the first vote worked, but the second vote removed it.

I understand that the un-voting (or “-1”) functionality is intentional, so don’t misunderstand me.

My issue is that without looking at the aforementioned “Posts upvoted by RoyHarmon.5398” page, I can’t tell whether I’ve already upvoted something or not after reloading the page.

To recreate this behavior:

  1. View a forum thread (if you’re reading this, you’ve completed Step 1).
  2. Load your “Posts upvoted by” page in a second tab.
  3. On the first tab, click the “+1” next to a post.
  4. Refresh both tabs and observe their appearances.
  5. Click the “+1” again.
  6. Refresh and observe both tabs again.
  7. Repeat as necessary.

I don’t believe so. I have QuickJava, but everything’s enabled. I’m running Adblock+, but I have it disabled on forum-en.guildwars2.com.

I’m running Firefox 24.0.

This happens to me all the time, as well. Also, I will view a page for the first time, and some posts will already have the +1 box greyed-out. I’ve learned to just ignore the little red or grey boxes, as they seem to have a mind of their own. =(

Yes! I’ve had that happen as well.

I would “+1” your post, but… you know… See thread title.

Happens to me as well (I have AdBlock, is it possible for +1 to work with AdBlock?)

Edit: I suspended AdBlock from working here on GW2 forums (there is such an option), and +1 is still not working
