    Seems buggy. Screws with upvote and downvote buttons. Count breaks if you mess with screwed up upvote and downvote buttons. But, it does what it's supposed to... thanks :) Commented Feb 6, 2012 at 21:55
  • @GGG I have uploaded a new version, which adds a CSS-fix for IE7-. Do you still observe the bug? If yes, please specify your browser version and OS. Commented Feb 6, 2012 at 23:18

    Nice work, Rob! If you wanted, you could save some bytes by omitting type="text/css" on the <style> element — it’s optional in HTML5 anyway, and it still works in all browsers without. Commented Feb 13, 2012 at 12:50

    Good script. Makes me wonder, if the information is available via the API anyway, then why does SE hide it? Commented Oct 3, 2012 at 14:11

    @RobW My apologies, I didn't realize that you had to click on the counters for the upvotes/downvotes to appear. I assumed it would automatically replace all the counters. But no matter, this is a great extension! Thanks :) Commented Jan 4, 2013 at 15:44

    Just had the thought, I'd certainly like to use an app/script which would alert me to any questions/answers that have been downvoted with no comment given so I could counter it and upvote them since that form of downvoting practice doesn't help out the user who posted the question/answer thus fails to support the community.

    @Myzifer Don't practice pity upvoting, that's harmful. If you get alerted of all downvotes, your computer would explode on Stack Overflow, given the huge volume of questions. Lots has already been said about this topic, just search for "pity upvoting" or "sympathy upvoting" on meta.stackoverflow.com. Commented Jun 14, 2013 at 13:13

    I wouldn't think of it as pity or sympathy but more re-balancing as such downvotes serve no purpose being there without feedback. Commented Jun 14, 2013 at 13:23

    When I first saw this script I assumed it would just show upvotes and downvotes when the page loaded, but it turns out you need to click on the vote count to see them. Even though this is normal for SE I find it kind of counter-intuitive and I'll leave this comment here in case anybody gets stuck. Commented Jun 22, 2017 at 13:14

    @CalvT When you have 1k+ rep, the standard SE mechanism is used if available. The script only activates if the vote counter does not appear to support vote totals (detected by the absence of a tooltip on the vote counter). Commented Dec 23, 2018 at 13:21

    @user202729 The script was already supposed to ignore sites where the user has a privilege. But I see that the check is no longer working, I'll fix this with the next update (along with dark theme support). Commented Jul 5, 2020 at 10:56
