After HF 19, a lot of users have been eagerly awaiting the use of the vote slider. Currently the vote slider appears when users have 1 MV of STEEM POWER (currently about 500 SP).
There is a problem with the vote slider though, in that it is not taking into account delegated SP. This causes a problem for new users who get delegated SP from other users, because even though they have enough SP to use the slider - the system doesn't recognize it. @roadscape opened GitHub Issue 1441 for this about a month ago.
I saw a post from @twinner a few days ago about how he tried to delegate SP to 125 German users so that they could use the slider, but then found out after the fact it didn't work! (post here)
I just submitted a pull request to correct the issue. If the pull request is accepted, it will take into account the delegated SP when determining whether or not to show the slider.
The pull request can be viewed here:
https://github.com/steemit/condenser/pull/1547
The PR is not accepted yet, but I plan to work with Steemit, Inc. to make any edits necessary to get it approved. Hopefully we will see the changes up on the live site soon!

Didn't know this was thanks to you.

The blockchain does not allow votes below a certain amount. If minnows had a vote slider right away, and they tried to use it to cast low percentage votes - it would give them an error. Prior to HF 19, the vote slider appeared pretty much at the point that a minnow could use it to cast 1% votes without getting an error. After HF 19, it could be lowered to be 125. I submitted a PR for that a few weeks ago, but it is still in review.

So the change would require about .25 MV correct or about 125 steem power? I think that is fair and allows more users to control where their power is going. Because 10 votes a day isnt much if you use SteemIt as much as most of us do.

The change to 0.25 is unrelated to this one. I submitted a separate PR for that a little over a week ago. That one is still in review. https://github.com/steemit/condenser/pull/1511
This most recent change fixes it so that it takes delegated SP into account. Whatever the threshold is (500 or 125) it will look at the total amount of SP a user has, which includes what was delegated to them.

Thanks. My very early background is in C/C++, but it has been a while since I've done programming in that language. I've mostly been doing C# for work for the past several years. The condenser (Steemit.com) code uses react.js and node.js - which is very similar to JavaScript. I've been learning it as I go :)

Also because like you mentioned, it doesn't make sense for delegated SP not count when voting using the slider. Shout a new post for everyone to know if his gets accepted.

It was probably a temporary glitch displaying the data on steemd.com. If you still see an issue let me know.
