It may be that you had given another of their messages a higher rating at some point. That means that you could have lowered your own average rating for that poster and that in turn would lower the overall average. At least that was how I understood the system worked. Oh. I didn't know that it worked that way. That would explain a lot of my confusion. JonLove your enemies!

Funny this should come up, because revamping the rating system has risen to the top of my todo list. It will be replaced with a thumbs-up/thumbs-down system. Administrators will be able to set whether it's thumbs-up only, thumbs-down only, or both. I haven't completed the design yet, but I'm hoping to include the ability to include a comment. Hovering over the icons will bring up a box listing who gave the message a thumbs-up or thumbs-down. Messages with the most thumbs-up or thumbs-downs will be displayed on Post-of-the-Month webpages (or whatever time period).
Oh, about the equation? Yeah, what WK said. I'm going to preserve the existing message ratings with 1 and 2 being a thumbs down, 4 and 5 a thumbs up, and 3's are ignored.

Message 62
Did you mean to have more then 1 thumbs up showing or just 1 with the # of ups or downs? AbE seems you are working on that now.

Some may already have noticed that the old message rating system of 1 to 5 has been replaced with a like/dislike system. Here are a few details:
The second part of this feature, which should be released sometime next month, will connect the message ratings to an automated Post of the Month system. Comments about messages will be part of the system. On the webpage listing the top posts, comments in a blog comment sort of style will follow each message. Comments, suggestions, criticism, etc., are all welcome. Edited by Admin, : Add another item. Edited by Admin, : Clarify member rating equation. Edited by Admin, : Add para about next stage of this feature. Edited by Admin, : Add another missing point. Edited by Admin, : Add another forgotten point. Edited by Adminnemooseus, : Change a "thumbs up" to "thumbs-down" in bullet point #4.

I don't like it.
Unless I missed something, and I can't go back to check, it seems that I can't see message ratings or member ratings until I cast my first vote. Can anyone else confirm this? Edited by Dr Adequate, : No reason given.

confirmed
It may cause a few problems when some people see who rated them bad maybe? Anonymity might not be a bad thing, we will see. Someone has to rate an up or down on the person you want to see, I gave you an up, refreshed and your rating showed up, I went back and hit up again cancelling it and now you can still see your rating....also tried it on a few more, wouldn't work for Jar though??

Member rating values can range between plus and minus 100. Does that mean your 66.7 is overall negative or overall positive? They seem to be showing up for me as plus or minus zero. I'm still confused on the equation Before my rating was about a 3 and I think yours was a 4; now I'm -26.7 and you are +66.7. The relationship of the new ratings seems entirely different than the relationship of the old ratings, even though they are supposed to be based on the old numbers, no? ABE: If I select a down rating and then deselect it, the thumbs-down buttons disappear for all the posts on the forums. It might even disappear after the initial down rating, but I didn't check that when I did the first down rating. /ABE Jon Edited by Jon, : No reason given.Love your enemies!

I reset all the member ratings. They'll be recalculated the first time someone votes for one of their messages. But you should always be able to see message ratings in the form of thumbs-up or thumbs-down icons. For example, if you view Message 316, don't you see three thumbs-up and one thumbs-down? Here's a little more detail about member ratings. Only their most recent messages count, up to 90 days old. If they posted more than 500 messages during that period then only their most recent 500 messages are considered.

But the actual number doesn't show up until after we cast a vote. Or is that what you mean when you say they are calculated the first time someone votes for one of their messages? I cannot see my own rating on the forum; perhaps if someone rates this message, I'll see the rating? JonLove your enemies!

Click on refresh/reload so that the latest Javascript and CSS files are loaded. Otherwise the new message rating system will not work properly for you. I'm still confused on the equation Before my rating was about a 3 and I think yours was a 4; now I'm -26.7 and you are +66.7. The relationship of the new ratings seems entirely different than the relationship of the old ratings, even though they are supposed to be based on the old numbers, no? While the new rating values are based upon the old rating values, they aren't the same. For example, people who liked your posts might have given them 5's, and they became a +1, while people who didn't like your posts might have given them 2's, and they became -1. But more significant is the change in the equation. Now it's a measure of what proportion of people voting for your messages give them a net positive rating. The total range from -100 to 100 is 200, and your current rating of 20 means that there's a 20 percentage point difference between the number of people who like versus dislike your posts, or a 40/60 split. I'll give your message a thumbs-up!

Also forgot to mention that members have to receive votes from at least five different people (they can be for the same message or different messages, doesn't matter) before they're given a rating.

Click on refresh/reload so that the latest Javascript and CSS files are loaded. Otherwise the new message rating system will not work properly for you. It is working well on my other computer now. I will close out my browser and open it back up later to see if that fixes it on the computer I made the original post from; for now a simple refresh doesn't seem to be doing the trick, but the problem is clearly on my side. ABE:Clear cache fixed it. Jon Edited by Jon, : No reason given.Love your enemies!
