Can someone tell me what the purpose of this is? Stack overflow has this too ..

I noticed that your post has been missed therefore I am bumping it up the list so that it gets another go... Mind you, the simple answer to your question is the title of your thread "Upvoting posts"

As it happens, I don't see that on my computer. I see that you have that from a cell phone image, probably running Android. May I assume you are using Chrome to get to the posts in question? That might clarify something. Firefox on Win10 doesn't show the items you circled. I don't have (and don't want) Chrome on my computer so cannot test it.

Yes doc man, the screenshot is from chrome on an Android phone. And it as I remember, I don't see the up or down voting stuff on a actual computer either.

So... from the actual computer, do you use Chrome? If so, return to that page and see whether what you asked about was a "Chrome" artifact or an "Android" artifact. All I can confirm is that it isn't present on Firefox on a desktop computer.

I see it in FF Doc, but it's to the right. That said, if memory serves it's only turned on in certain forums.

So far I have not seen anything in that position to the right of any post in any forums I have visited so far. Since you are also a moderator, Paul, I wonder if it is being suppressed by a Firefox setting. I have my FF security cranked up a little compared to the average person.

Certain forums here was what I meant. I'm sure @Jon can answer for sure.

That may be true, though mine's on "Strict". Make sure you check the thread above, since as I say only some AWF forums have that turned on.

In addition to the link I posted earlier, also take a look at this one and scroll down to "Question threads" and "Suggestion threads."

This feature was only turned on in very few forums.

Finally came across one of them, to the right side of the main post in the case I saw.

I didn't implement the Questions type threads because I got lacklustre feedback when I brought it up as a new site feature. The PowerApps section has it as a default, since that was requested specifically. You can do the Question types thread in the Modules forum, but it is not the default option.
