Yahoo! Answers question?
I am on Yahoo Answers both at home and work (I'm self-employed if you're wondering). When I give somebody a thumbs up on my Dell laptop at home (Explorer browser), I see the thumb come back with a 1 beside it. When I do the same thing at work (AMD Athlon tower / desktop, Mozilla Firefox browser), it says "thanks for rating", and the thumbs don't come back. Anybody have any thoughts about why they're different?
charlie suggests the difference is the browsers. Maybe. I used to use Netscape at home until a month ago when it got messed up by a virus and I had to switch to Explorer. It behaved the way Explorer does: the thumbsup appears immediately. It's hard for me to fathom how the browser can affect the content. It's not just how it's displayed; it's what's displayed. Maybe I don't understand what a browser does, but I didn't think it changed the page's content, just rearranged or truncated it.
