Vote Symbols[1] (source) is a script that displays symbols next to users' votes, !votes, and closes. Adding symbols next to votes helps distinguish them quickly, through their different colors.
Now compatible with high-resolution displays!
History of voting symbols
There used to be templates one could use to put symbols next to their !votes in discussions. However, these were deleted as a result of many, many, many, many deletion discussions and DRVs (I might have missed a few), leading to the salting of {{support}} and {{oppose}}.
To bring back this feature, a script was written by Ais523 in 2006. This is an update to that script which adds more icons and votes and takes out a couple of less useful votes that generate frequent false positives.
Installation
To install it, copy and paste this code into your common.js page:

To-do
- I encourage suggestions for additional symbols and keywords.
- Add "no consensus" without putting a symbol next to every time "consensus" appears in bold
- Have "Keep blanked" only show the blank votesymbol
- Other votes: refine
Known bugs
- There appear to be some blank images that appear next to bold text in places like WP:CD and WP:DP. These may have been created by the script but I'm not sure how.
