Just open the post as usual, then click on the post body.
That brings up the arrows (as they did with your message here)
Pinch zoom to make the arrow big enough to click with my inaccurate fingers, and tap the green arrow.

Wait a second. Are you saying you tap your finger inside the body of the post and the arrows remain visible when you lift your finger? On my Windows Phone 8, the arrows go away as soon as I lift my finger. If I simply keep the finger down and try to press an arrow, the arrows disappear without voting.
I have to pinch zoom all the way in (to avoid fatfingering the wrong arrow) to the top, left corner of the body so the very bottom of the message icon is visible, slide my finger from outside the screen, entering the screen just below the icon, slide down into the "arrow field" (the arrows show up) continuing in an L shaped movement into the body itself (sometimes it starts scrolling and I have to go back) and while keeping that finger down, use another finger to press down the arrow, lift the first finger and finally lift the "arrow finger". The UI shuffles around a little, which tells me the vote was applied.
That took a long time to figure out. I kept having to zoom out to look in the bottom, right corner to see if the "vote text" showed up.

I assume you are using IE on Win8?
Mine is Chrome, and it's possible that Google have thought about these things...I figured it was going to be a problem picking a forum from the mouse-over menus as well, but first tap opens the menu, second zooms it to show the links more clearly, or it opens auto after a second or so if you don't second tap. Works well (but not as easy as a mouse)

Yes, it is IE10 (or some sort of mobile version of it). I don't know if it is the browser or the phone (Nokia Lumia 920), but I have not found a way to change behaviors like that.
The red-flag hover menus have a related problem. For some reason when I press and hold my finger on an image (the red flag is also an image) for about 1 second, a menu pops up asking If I want to save the image. That prevents me from selecting anything from the "red flag menu". The solution is to zoom in and pan to position the flag to be half way out of the screen at the top and slide my finger from outside the screen onto the flag (this pops up the menu), keeping the finger down and selecting the menu entry with another finger, releasing the first finger and then releasing the second finger.

There is a chrome for win 8 (I think) - Google will tell you if you look. Might be easier to use...

For the phone? I looked for that a while back without finding anything. Actually, I did find UC Browser, but it does not like CodeProject.
Thanks, I will try looking for Chrome again.

No, generally it's figuring out whether something is friendly banter or outright insults - with developers it's often hard to see the difference - especially when related to C++, which might be a cultural problem.

This works right up until some stupid, lazy, know nothing developer forgets to set the tab order on the page!. I hate lazy buggers who don't do the minimum required of them.
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity

If I tried to use a touch screen for my desk computer, my arm would get really tired pretty quickly. Guess it is good exercise. For kiosks and touchpads they work great. Not that a touchpad when using touch is probably mostly flat on the desk/table top, or in a lap.

This silly touch interface will never work, but the tongue interface will, as we evolve into beings with no other tactile device available to us. Legs are bound to atrophy through lack of use, and hands will evolve into pointy stumps suitable only for texting and spearing Twinkies for gobbling. The tongue-activated interface will also open up possibilities for developers, since we'll have the ability to include flavor and scent as attributes of project themes. The pr0n industry, as usual, will probably spearhead the transition into this new technology, but others will follow forthwith.
Will Rogers never met me.

Of the tongue-activated interface, a nice jolt from a 9-volt will be part of Version 1.0, of which developers can use to clue the clueless user of their unclued chosen answer.
Hence, the new product will be called:
CLUE ~ Computer Lickin' User Experience
Marketing slogan: Get a CLUE!
When shipped with every PC, the user can not longer say:
"I have no stinkin' CLUE how to use this..."

Somehow your description made me think on the film WALL-E

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Can you say, "Woah! Minority Report comes to life!"
I've no relation to Leap.com, but their product, LeapMotion, is WAY better than any touchscreen will ever be.
THAT, my friends, ("THAT" being LeapMotion), *IS* the future, and that future will be here on 5/11/13 when they ship the thing!!
As a developer for LeapMotion, I've started my project:
CHASE = Computer-Human Adaptive Syndactic Ecphasis
Gonna be AWESOME!!!

That may be true; but all the styling you did to make this post look different than a standard message had me reaching for the flag button before I started reading it due to a reflexive "looks like an HTML paste where one doesn't make sense, probably spam" reaction.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

In Refutation: 
1) Of LeapMotion, only a "standard product" gets a "standard message"; 
2) No links to the product were included in the message, leaving that to the astute reader to dig up ~ a reasonable element the post is not spam; 
3) Of the 'reflexive "looks like ... probably spam" reaction' ~ the big lettering did what it was purposed for, then: to get the reader's attention 
{now if they would just make it easy to use color! [vs. hand-coded html]};

So it's your problem not ours. Use Glasses and Zoom (CTRL + mouse wheel is anti-pinch doesn't work) to make them comfortable for you, rather than inflicting your visual deterioration on us!
(I have my own visual deterioration to deal with, thank you very much. Three pairs of glasses now... )

#4 in my prior post was a continuation of the overall parody statement(s) presented, as such the common reader (here on CodeProject) would reasonably conclude given the various emoticons used throughout.
I'm with exceeding personal dismay of the personal attack made upon my person and/or character due to my physical visual impairment.
