Post Ratings Enabled!

[Scaredgirl]

Members can now rate all posts from 1 to 5 and can edit or delete their own rating. You cannot rate your own post.

This rating system in it's current form is not perfect and requires some manual customizing.

I would like a system where you could only rate the first post of a thread, so it's basically like rating the thread, not the post.

Also it might be a good idea to limit ratings so that you could only rate threads on a particular part of a forum, like say "Decks".

Post your thoughts.

I'm in favour of both of those.
If the first can't be done, I'd very much like a "Don't show post rating" option on the look and layout page of profile settings.

Ok, I made the rating hidden by default. Now you need to click the box first.

The good thing is that it takes less space this way. The bad thing is that you now need to click two times to rate a post.

Hopefully I can fix this so that the rating is visible by default but only on the first post.

Lol, I got rated 1/5.   

I guess I need to work on my announcement skills.

Right now there is a big blank space above every post. Is this related to the imperfect rating system?

[Scaredgirl]

I guess there is one line of blank space (where the rating will appear). Is that the "big" blank space you are talking about?

Why do some threads not have "rank this post" buttons (Define a mono-deck) and others do (Best Weapon)?

This is something I noticed yesterday. I have to look into it. Might have something to do with permissions which is the most annoying part of running these forums, especially now that the different membergroups (titles) keep piling up.

Thanks for reminding me, I would have probably forgotten all about it. Although I'm just about to go to sleep and there's a high chance that I don't remember this conversation tomorrow.

Yes, but it is not "one line". It's a really big blank space that's more than 10 lines. Maybe my browser or something else is bugged... I'm using Maxthon 2.5.8 as a browser.

Why not switch to Firefox like all the cool kids?

I suppose it looks something like this?

That's IE6, so it's probably not quite that bad for you, but I'd still not use anything based on any version of IE.

Haha, man IE6 sucks.

Hmm.. if more people have these issues, it would probably be a good idea to get rid of this rating system. This free version is not that useful really. The commercial version (once it releases) on the other hand will have all kinds of cool features, like arranging posts based on rating, etc.
