FullyTested - My members have taken a shine to the mod, all is working as expected. I have defaulted the threshold values quite low to get people interested (10, 20, -10, -20), but I will make them higher at a later date.

I was never much of a fan of the reputation system built into vBulletin, so this mod with the thread five star ranking system seems to be working well.

Keep up the good work :)

But what is the incentive for users to click on it? Users don't do anything without a return on it. Some people have lowered the thresh hold and thus people see stats but in the long term that will become a little tedious.

Don't get me wrong I think this is something that could work and its potential is fantastic.
But I think this could be utilised in a much better way to give it more value.

That is a much better idea, its simple.

Pamela,

I understand what you are saying and a new mod that incorporates your suggestions and those of others might be a better addon to forum threads.
I understand this mod is limited in scope and is not for everyone. It does what I intended it to do and with the help of VB members such as yourself and others who have tried it and helped iron out its kinks, we can all learn from it and get inspired to create better, more exciting, and hopefully more useful mods.

Thanks FT. I think it rocks as an idea and the best system I have seen on here in terms of functionality. As I said its potential is what I find exciting.

Actually the mention of a thumbs up and thumbs down is something that will get people clicking and I'm thinking of simply changeing the icons and lowering the thresh hold.

I think icons like thumbs are more easily understood without the need for explanation.

Thanks for your work on this.

Hi there,

Thanks for the mod! Currently testing it on a test forum (hence why I haven't marked it as installed) and I noticed that it is missing a logging feature (correct me if I'm wrong :)). Would you mind adding one? It would be very helpful in dealing with abuse of the system.

Thanks again :)

Hi EvilSeph,

Not sure what kind of log record you are seeking.
Each time a person votes it is kept track of.

Hi Stubbed,

I originally was going to have threads rated according to the ranked posts within it but never got that far.

How about "Neutral". I couldn't see Highest Rank, Lowest rank ect.

What's Error ?

Not sure if that would be good. Because you can have a good thread (e.g. tutorial) and then a bunch of idiots come in and say stupid stuff therefore lowering the rating.
