   @Matija “hook” Šuklje:
   Good guess, but nope!

   if it looks like a spinbox, it acts like a spinbox then probably it’s a spinbox. Only it doesn’t apear to be spinning 😛

   @nonkdeuser:
   That would be a step backwards, so no. 😉

   @hardas:
   Yes, I guess you can call it a spinbox. But what is it for? That the real question. Ha.

   I would guess that it’s a rating button for user’s karma.

   @lastofthewolves – Nope, you’re off mark.

   Still nobody who’s figured it out? I guess I’ll give you another hint later today. 😀

   Edit: OK, so here’s the second hint:
   With ‘homework’ I meant following the posts on planetKDE.

   It wouldn’t happen to be a voting system for KNewStuff? Of course that doesn’t have much to do with the forums…

    That would be nice, but no, that’s not it.

    If it’s not used for voting or showing the votes for your own brainstorms on the forums, I’m give up.

    Maybe for adding/ removing a plasmoid in the new dialog?

    Attention everyone, we have a winner! His name… is ME.
    (In case anyone recognizes this: yes, I do like that character).

    Third and last hint for you: the answer is (indirectly) somewhere in the comments.

    I wasn’t that much on #kde-forum lately but I guess its for voting on posts. So if a post from a user was good that means thumps up or down

    Is it related to KDialogue and users voting on which questions to ask a developer?
16. Hans Says:

    Now we’re finally getting somewhere. xxtjaxx, that’s right, it’s for voting on posts, but not on any posts.

    And the ultimate winner is Kmetamorphosis, who apparently has read about KDialogue. Everybody else needs to study up.

    Aw, poop. I remember KDialogue, but I thought it’s going to be in the help window, not something as pretty as that :]
18. Hans Says:
    September 25, 2009 at 14:10

    Wha..? Help window? Are you sure you’re talking about the same KDialogue as I am? =P

    Anyway, more information about KDialogue will be revealed soon – stay tuned!
19. Matija "hook" Šuklje Says:

    OK, then I guess, I either misunderstood KDialogue or just its imagined the implementation differently…

    Anyway, can’t wait to read more about it :]
