Voting button appears on opening post

Continuing the discussion from Discourse Post Voting:

Since the opening post in Q&A topic is the question itself, it should not have upvoting option.

Isn’t this a feature to prioritize among topics?

I agree that, right now, it’s confusing and unclear why someone should vote a topic.

On the first post, this is superfluous and needs to be removed

I’ve slipped your post over to here @volanar as it’s been mentioned before. :slight_smile:

I thought there was a reply to say that it was on purpose, but I can’t seem to find it. I’ll have a dig around and see what I can find out. :+1:

As a workaround, you can use this CSS:

.post-stream .topic-post:first-child .post-voting-post {
    display: none;
}

This is very much a site pref. Voting on quality of questions is something pretty established on Stack Overflow like sites.

We kept the voting control deliberately, removing it via CSS is fine though, open to maybe adding a site setting for it as well.

But the question itself cannot participate in the voting among the answers. Moreover, it cannot be filtered together with the answers. It should always be at the top

I wonder if styling the one in the OP differently would help show it has a different meaning to the ones in the replies?
