But when I change "allow negative responses" to "no" in the options, entering a vote reloads the thread at the first page. This discourages voting, especially in long threads, where people might want to quickly approve of a comment without being whisked away to page 1, forcing them to click back to where they were to continue reading. I also prefer the plus/minus icon buttons to the text link for voting, but the main thing is that I want to disallow negative votes without making a cast vote reload the thread.

How do I do that? I am pretty sure this is not something I can do in the options, so can someone point me to the file I need to edit and what I need to do to simply removed the "minus" button link from the plus/minus vote? I went so far as to replace the minus icon with a black box to make the button "invisible," but users quickly figured out they could still vote negative, and seemingly were more apt to do so knowing that the admins were trying to discourage it.

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

I wasn't able to duplicate this issue. Which voting option are you using?
