In my case it was over 110 or so, and it was only from the "Author" category. Is it also explained by that very bug? The confusion factor was that the point history did show anything.
Thank you,

Oh no! I lost around 2000 points. Very bad start of the day.

Sometimes when adding a comment to a solution I get a massage saying "We have tried to update your comment 3 times without success. Our servers...". That's okay, but what happens is that the comment is lost since the text box for the comment disappears when the Submit button is pressed. When adding a solution the situation is different and in case of an error the solution box remains.
Could the editable comment box have similar behavior (not removed until the submit has succeeded or message cancelled by user)?

Hey Chris, is this some sort of new feature that's being provided?
If so, who drew the short straw over at CP headquarters to provide the service?
I wasn't, now I am, then I won't be anymore.

There's only one person with a mankini here, so take a guess.

Oh...
you mean, getting a massage wasn't the suggestion?

I moved some code from a comment to the question section in
this question[^], but despite all my efforts I cannot get the indenting to work. If you edit the code section you can see the spaces at the beginning of each line.

I one voted an article because I thought it was bad but then realized the author had made references to the shortcomings. The references were hard to spot earlier. Anyway, since I couldn't take back the vote, I changed it to a three. I would have preferred to cancel the vote because that didn't deserve any up votes.

Once you've voted, you've voted. There's no "take backs" in voting land.
|
|

Which doth sucketh, and I have pretty much stopped voting on articles.
|
|
|
|
|
You've stopped voting because you can't cancel a vote?

How hard would it be to implement an un-vote feature for people like him? 
It'd be like a careless-vote day-after pill!

Partly. The requirement to post a comment with a low vote also played a part of course. I only ever vote 1 or 5, and hardly ever a 5. I found myself voting 1 and then the article would be improved, but not to a 5, and I couldn't remove the 1. So I stopped voting on articles altogether and just report the really bad articles and/or write a comment.
Even if I could remove a vote, going back and reviewing my 1s would be tedious and I probably wouldn't bother. I think it would require an email notification that an article I had 1ed had been updated.

This should happen anyway IMO - at least by default with an opt out user setting. If the article has changed substantially then the down vote may no longer reflect the quality and should either be removed or recast.

OK, that makes sense. I thought it was the awful sense of finality that was causing you grief.
"Do I vote? Do I not vote? If I vote a 2 will I regret it later? But I don't want to vote it a 4 because it's not good enough. Oh, if only I could vote it a 2, just for a day, then take it away, rest, and then, maybe, vote a 3 the following day."
So it's more about having your vote stay relevant to the article as the article changes.
That is something I can definitely add to the TODO.

Yes, with an optimistic hope that it will be improved.
However, I feel that the ability to report poor articles is more powerful than low-voting.
