It's (SO) actually a "This post adds something useful to the post" rather than an "Up Vote" per se.
I much prefer the act of consolidating any useful information from the discussions into any solutions offered, and/or into the original post - keeps it all nicely together.
Ok it takes me a second or two longer to cut&paste them sometimes, but I'm not exactly here for the "get the project out of the door asap" life - I wouldn't hang around in Q&A if I was

Hi all,
While answering the questions in CP forum some users down vote the answers/solutions. I got that few times  . But onece my answer was not so bad enough to down vote. I don't know what was the reason behind that but that ans has been down voted. So I am proposing to put an extra column with the reason of down voting, so that guy like me can upgrade their solutions and provide those to others to solve another question.
Thanks

This has been asked for many times, and has been rejected for many reasons including the fact that people will just create dummy accounts to downvote, revenge voting will occur, etc. Ultimately, what value will someone typing "asdgf" have when they just want to downvote out of spite?

"revenge" is a very bad one... okay no problem if you people has been rejected this issue..will try to be very definite onwards while answering.
Thanks..

No offense but it may be your language style. It's pretty good for a non-native speaker, but people are biased (often subconsciously) against responses that are obviously "foreign" (relatively speaking). It's not even about grammar. Someone using bad grammar but is obviously a native speaker may see his responses better received than someone writing perfect grammar but in a very unusual (non-native) style.

This is sad, but true. Mind you, I had a lovely email from one of our regulars this morning - he's doing some fantastic things now and he just mailed me to thank me for taking time to help him. It's moments like that, that make it all worthwhile. The knowing that you managed to help someone get on and do the things they want to do.

Yeah, I understand. One guy saying thank-you makes up for the 99 others that don't

Maybe I'm lucky but I find a lot do thank me. Anecdotally, it seems to be more of an Indian thing - I've had more thanks from our Indian users than I get from the European or American users.

No, I think it is more to do with the quality of your answers and articles. And the fact that you seem to have the patience of a saint sometimes.

 There are many fine answers given, by many people. Don't underestimate your own fine contributions Richard. You also go above and beyond when helping.

M.D.V. 
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?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

It's seems the 'line breaks' aren't displayed. Unless you enter two of them and then both of them are displayed.
2 line breaks before this line./
1 line break before this line
In Edit they do come back, in the preview they aren't displayed.
So probably just something with the display
In case it's important:
Chrome Version 41.0.2272.101 m
[EDIT]
Never mind, apparently it's all due to the 'markdown formatting', I completely missed that.
And there is a checkbox to 'un-use' it so that solves the problems (the checkbox even saves so very handy  )

I was just going to report that too.
Typing <br> seems to help (but I don't want to do that every time I need a line break).

Markdown is enabled. It needs two line breaks.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

See Chris's Markdown announcement in the Lounge:
An important note is that to add a linebreak you'll need to either
add 2 spaces to the end of a line, or add a blank line between lines.

Didn't see that.
But still is this intended behavior?
I don't want to have to add those 2 spaces every time when I'm just typing text.
They do seem to work tho.

You can always un-tick the "Use Markdown formatting" option to get the old behaviour back.
