Is it me...

[Zopperoni]

...or has the "showing the rating of a thread"-feature suddenly popped up in the Light-Special-look...?

BTW: I don't like the "showing the rating of a thread"-feature...

[MarkG]

it was added after the creation of the civ3-files forum

[Ecthy]

excuse me, what was added? the thread rating feature has been there for a long time, no?

[Gramphos]

Cool, but why don't you allow one to vote 0?

And why do you keep to the fixed stars for the default.
A mush better way would be to use bars. I'll see if I can came up with something.

[Gramphos]

Here comes an example:

A thread rated 3.00 would get the following bar (3/5 % filled)
<IMG SRC="http://w1.111.telia.com/~u11104994/bars/border.gif"><IMG SRC="http://w1.111.telia.com/~u11104994/bars/voted.gif" HEIGHT="10" WIDTH="33"><IMG SRC="http://w1.111.telia.com/~u11104994/bars/unvoted.gif" HEIGHT="10" WIDTH="22"><IMG SRC="http://w1.111.telia.com/~u11104994/bars/border.gif">

A thread rated 3.43 would get the following bar (3.43/5 % filled)
<IMG SRC="http://w1.111.telia.com/~u11104994/bars/border.gif"><IMG SRC="http://w1.111.telia.com/~u11104994/bars/voted.gif" HEIGHT="10" WIDTH="38"><IMG SRC="http://w1.111.telia.com/~u11104994/bars/unvoted.gif" HEIGHT="10" WIDTH="17"><IMG SRC="http://w1.111.telia.com/~u11104994/bars/border.gif">

A thread rated 4.43 would get
<IMG SRC="http://w1.111.telia.com/~u11104994/bars/border.gif"><IMG SRC="http://w1.111.telia.com/~u11104994/bars/voted.gif" HEIGHT="10" WIDTH="49"><IMG SRC="http://w1.111.telia.com/~u11104994/bars/unvoted.gif" HEIGHT="10" WIDTH="6"><IMG SRC="http://w1.111.telia.com/~u11104994/bars/border.gif">

A thread rated 5.00 would get
<IMG SRC="http://w1.111.telia.com/~u11104994/bars/border.gif"><IMG SRC="http://w1.111.telia.com/~u11104994/bars/voted.gif" HEIGHT="10" WIDTH="55"><IMG SRC="http://w1.111.telia.com/~u11104994/bars/border.gif">

thanks!

So, instead of posting one can now rate the posts just? Cool feature, but kinda useless, isn´t it?

My sentiments exactly...

Markos/Dan...why was it put in...?

PS: if there were something I want in Light(-Special)-style...it would be to see who posted last...

I thought this was more like an answer to "when?" than to "why?"...
But I read the Files-forum...and understand your reply now...

[MarkG]

ok, great

gramphos, what's this racism against stars?

I kind of like bars more, and bars can be made with less height without make them unable to read.

Nothing particular against stars, except that they only shows full points. I believe the rating system of the light style is better. Now i need to hold over the pic to see the average vote.

Could you make a medium style with last post by and the light rating. Skip the news of the index page and keep the posticons.

[Jeje2]

Well,
I don't like the Rating value at all.
And I use Ctp2-light, so I only see numbers as the value

So please MarkG please take them away from at least some view possibility - I don't need them.

Its always funnier to ask twice than just listen to the answer the first time... Now, I can´t even find a thread where this system is used... and how do one change the rate symbols??
