Note: I can't yet pull up your voted stories when they were voted on from a different device. I'm thinking of how to fix this, any ideas? Voting on a story through ihackernews, records that item ID in a cookie so it will remain as "voted" when you refresh the page or navigate away. Usernames and passwords are not stored, they are only used to get your "auth ID". The authID is stored on your device in a cookie.
