Can't vote any more
After casting a couple of votes without any problem the system now denies any voting on questions and answers with a little popup saying (literally with all the tags visible):
You don't have permission to do this action.<br>Please <a href="/users/login.html">Login</a> as another user
A bug? Are there any restrictions? Coming from stackoverflow I am used to vote as I like.
Thanks Kay

The admins change the amount of Karma required to vote answers up today to 15. It is intentional, and its there to prevent newcomers from voting up things that shouldn't be voted up.
Let me solve that problem for you...
I have the same problem. I had questions answered, problems solved, but I couldn't vote.
You have zero karma - which means zero 'reputation'. You have to be a 'useful' member of the community before you're able to influence the community (by voting). The site is very useful to you even if you can't vote, and it only takes fifteen karma to vote - that's about one right answer or one good question.
Thanks. I was ready to send an email to udn ad$$anonymous$$istrator asking if my account had any problem. They didn't mention that anywhere (like on the FAQ) and I couldn't find this answer through a normal search. Googling for the error text got me here. I'd vote you up for this answer, but alas, I cannot. So please accept my standard thanks.
