How do you vote on a comment to a question or answer? I am not seeing any vote button by any comments.

Is it a privilege that you have to earn by having enough reputation? I only have 16 reputation, so, if it is, I don't think I have it.

Yes, you need 15 reputation for that. From the help center:

When should I vote up?

Whenever you encounter a question, answer or comment that you feel is especially useful, vote it up!

(emphasis mine)

While voting is primarily meant for posts (questions and answers), the privilege also applies to comments.

  • Does voting on a comment change reputation like it does one answers and questions?

    No, it doesn't; from the same article: Upvotes on a comment help ensure the comment remains visible when there are many comments on a post, but do not give the author any reputation.
