Overview
This is a porting of my vB 4.x product:
Enhanced Thread Rating (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=320670)
This product is designed to allow you to make vBulletin's thread rating system more visible and configurable. Your settings regarding whether users are allowed to change their votes and to check the thread rating are taken into account. However, if you choose to use the highly visible thread rating, if a user has already rated a thread and you do not allow vote changes, they will not be shown the voting options, but will instead be shown a message that they have already voted and vote changes are disabled.
The settings are divided into two categories:
Highly Visible Thread Rating Settings
Here you may set whether you wish for the thread rating system to appear at the top of showthread pages rather than in the thread controls bar. You can then configure the CSS for this element. Lastly, you can decide if you wish for the list of users who have rated a thread (along with their vote) to be displayed. The users are shown using their HTML markup, and link to their profile pages. You may select which usergroups are allowed to view who rated threads.
Thread with no rating:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=153912&stc=1&d=1451456417
Thread the user has already rated, with vote changing turned off in the AdminCP:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=153913&stc=1&d=1451456417
Thread another user has rated:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=153914&stc=1&d=1451456417
Thread Rating Control
Here you can exclude usergroups from being able to rate threads. You may also exclude forums from thread rating, while forums that have been excluded from the rating system via your Forum Manager will remain excluded regardless of this product's settings.
