No Vote button anymore

Hi,

I just realized, that I can’t vote on bug topics anymore as there is no vote-button anymore on any topics I visit. This is on mobile and on pc.
I read that there were problems with the forum system, but they should have been solved according to this topic:

Does anyone else still has this problem?

Sorry, if this is the wrong sub-forum to post this in, could not find a more fitting one.

Thank you for your post! Your topic has been moved to a sub-category of the User Support Hub

The Official Microsoft Flight Simulator > Forum Navigation category is meant for articles that help users become familiar with the various sections of the Official Forum.

If you would like other users to help you with an issue you are experiencing in the sim, consider these User Support Hub categories for your future post:

User Support Hub > Aircraft & Systems
User Support Hub > ATC, Traffic & NAVAIDs
User Support Hub > Crashes (CTDs)
User Support Hub > Hardware & Peripherals
User Support Hub > Install, Performance & Graphics
User Support Hub > Scenery & Airports
User Support Hub > User Interface & Activities
User Support Hub > Virtual Reality (VR)
User Support Hub > Weather & Live Weather
User Support Hub > Miscellaneous

Not all categories have vote buttons.
Bug Reports, Wishlist and Beta categories are those that do.
Can you confirm those do not show voting capabilities?

Yes, that’s what I meant. I also don’t see the number of votes for bug topics.

Have you restarted your device after the recent issue was corrected?

Yes, several times.
Also already tried to log out and back in and deactivating all my browser addons.

I’ll see what we can do!

I just tried to log in with MS edge browser and there I have the vote buttons and numbers. So seems to be a FireFox specific problem, gonna clear the sites cookies and try again.

Wohoo, worked.
Cleared the cache and cookies for flightsimulator.com and logged back in.
Sorry to have bothered you.

Never a problem, glad you found the answer!

This worked for me as well.

It was lucky I found the post, as I was just about to complain.

Since yesterday, the large, blue VOTE button is no longer visible in the MSFS forum, when using on my smartphone. I’ve logged out and back in several times. I’ve tried using two different browsers (Chrome and Samsung Internet) and cleared the browser cache. But the VOTE button is still gone… What can I do?

Thanks!


That’s a new UI change, you already voted on that topic, that’s because it sais “remove vote”. The up arrow is green which means you voted. It will go back to being not filled when removing the vote. To vote you push the non-filled up arrow and it will turn green and a vote is added below.

You are right, i can vote when i click on the up arrow. But I don’t see the point or advantage of this new feature at all… :man_shrugging:t4: What was so bad about the big, blue VOTE button?

Yeah it’s not as prominent anymore, which means people not used to voting on the forums may not realize they’re able to vote on some topics like bugs.

I agree, I think this is a bad change. Did anyone ask for this?
