To address the issue about the position of the up/down vote buttons, instead of having them exist in a static position at the top or bottom of the post, why not have the whole voting widget move as the user reads the answer? That way they are always visible, no matter which part of the post the user is viewing. When you first scroll down to an answer, the voting buttons should be at the top of the post, where they are now. But as you scroll through a (presumably long) answer, the voting buttons scroll with you, always floating to the left of the post. As you reach the end of the answer, the voting buttons should stop at the bottom of the post. That way the voting buttons are easily accessible no matter where you are in the answer.
