Long time reader, recently created an account...

I don't see downvote or "flag" buttons. The only button available to me is a "^", which I assume is upvote, but without a downvote or flag button it's very out of context... (edit: Yeah, the on-hover is 'upvote' but there's no downvote or flag).

Yes, you only get these options after reaching a certain karma threshold (see https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html and https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html)

Click the timestamp on a post. Do you see a flag option now?

Downvoting is available at a karma threshold. I think flags for comments and submissions are always available?

Not always, or people would create accounts just to do it. The flag threshold is low, though (30).

I believe the threshold is higher than that, as I am currently situated at 45 and do not have the option.

Then you do have the option. Maybe email us ([email protected]) if you're still not seeing it?

Clarification: I have the flag option, but not the down arrow. What is the threshold for the down arrow appear?

Sorry for the miscommunication, I had assumed that both functions were enabled at the same threshold.

If you're a long-time reader you should've known that the downvote button requires a minimum amount of karma. Or at least you'd know that it's inappropriate to derail an HN topic when there are abundant Google results on your question.
