It appears that the new software does have a rating system feature for threads, and I haven't seen anyone use it yet. Don't forget it IS there, and feel free to rate some of the more useful, and useless threads as a way of voicing your opinion.

Just go to the bottom of the thread (i've typically seen these at the top of other forums) and you'll see the option.

Enjoy, and use these wisely.

 

Beent here for a long time Matt.... you may have noticed I rated a few threads in the off topic section as an exercise?
Not many bother to use this feature, but it certainly would be helpful

 

Yup, I just found it, so it was a new feature for me! Now, off to rate my threads with a big ol' 5, and it'll likely stay that way since nobody seems to use it. lol

 

How do you rate a thread. I don't see a "rate" option (Probably looking right at it though )

 

 

 

You had me wondering for a while there, all my standard thread tools are at the top as in your second S/Shot. Even turned the laptop over to see if they would move to the bottom!

If used correctly it would also help us to spot good FAQ candidates.

(I see that you still have the banners, IP related if you check the location)

I don't show that feature!

 

Lew, you running some obscure OS over there, like Safari? lol

 

Me too! Signed in, no RATE on my screen. Have I done something to offend you?

 

Me three ... neither IE8 nor Firefox shows this button.

Have I been deemed inadequate? Not Worthy? Troublemaker? What?

crap...guess we need to explore this a bit further...sorry fellas

 

Food for thought - why should/would we rate the threads in the first place? Some are very important and useful to me, others not so - and I suspect that interest level is prevalent among the readers. How about asking them if they would want the threads rated or not before we spend a lot of time figuring out how to do it? Best to all DaleD

Sorry - Clearly that topic should be a new thread! DaleD

 

Thread Ratings are available with IE8 . I am uploading a screen shot to give a test for it

 

Caddie, maybe only the mods can see it?

 

Well, h20 I have never thought of it like that lol

 

Signed in also cannot find any rating top or bottom left or right

i WAS JUST GETTIGN READY TO VOTE THIS A SUCK AZZ THREAD AS A SMART AZZ. THEN I SEE YOU NOTE ON USE IT WISELY...RATSOFRATSO%$#>()&^ YOURE NO FUN
I HAD TO RATE EXCELLANT

 

More importantly brutal, can you SEE the thread rating option up top? If you can, you're 'special', apparently.

 

This is all I get! Gee, you'd think I had enough postings to be able to rate a post! (Lew, feeling very left out!)
