When I try to give a thumbs up to a thread, it doesn't work.
Instead a little grey thing with an "x" in it appears.

Is it because I haven't been here for a year?

no it takes more than one vote till it affects the thread....i think three votes per thumb.... so if there were already 2 and you gave another 1, it would make you think that only your vote made the thumb...then other times you would see that it doesnt make a thumb appear. if you put your mouse over the thumbs or x thing on the thread it'll show you how many votes there were

Thank you to Royal2000H and firsonce for your answers

T...

...(as someone already pointed out) If you hover your mouse pointer over the thumb(s) it will show you the total # of votes and the net votes (thumb-up gets +1, thumb-down gets -1).
If you care to hover over some (make sure it's not too few) of the threads that show 1 thumb and determine the MINIMUM net #, you know that's the minimum to get 1 thumb.
You can do the same for threads with 2 thumbs, 3 thumbs, ..., and determine the minimum for each.
In short, applying "use Observation to derive Inference" learned from high school Chemistry.
