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:

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!
