How-to: Vote for a Post

[FitbitCommunity]

Voting is a great way to show your love for a post that you find particularly helpful, funny, well-worded, or that otherwise contributes positively to our community.  

Votes can be used in the Help Forums, Discussions, and Ideas sections of the community. Had success with someone else's troubleshooting idea? Vote for it! Like the sound of a yummy recipe? Vote for it! Think Fitbit should add a new, fancy feature? Vote for it!  

How to Vote for a Post

Step 1: Identify a vote-worthy post. Here, @WendyB gives some sound advice about handling a Charge 2 trouble spot. 

Step 2: Anyone can vote for a great response by clicking on the "thumbs -up" at the bottom-right corner. Now, Wendy has another vote to add to her tally!

Hi yes the votes are usually for a specific Feature Request for example an
Always on Display on the Blaze with a second hand and HR. I thought that a
few hundred votes would do the trick but Fitbit Support explained that they
need "one heck of a lot more than that". It would be kinda sad if someone
purchased another device because of say one feature IF said feature could
have been added on. Brand Loyalty and such like.

Good morning, @Ronald1. Just to clarify ...

 - In the Help or Discussion forums, vote for a post if you found it helpful. It's sort of a way to say, "Thanks! Well done!" Or "I appreciate you taking the time to post a good answer."

 - on the other hand, if you want to vote for a new Fitbit feature request, tap here, then search for the new feature you would like. Vote for that feature. 

Hope this helps. It's a beautiful day on Michigan! Time for a walk.

You might want to add that before you can vote, you must reply to something first.  That's not clear in any of the documentation I looked at.  Thanks!
