hehe I just cant wait to have this .-)

Patience, padwan. These things take time.

A couple of other small previews:

I have rewritten what I've done to be as easily moddable and expandable as possible, so that hopefully all the knowledge you will need is some instructions and a bit of copying and pasting of the code in order to allow custom content of your own making to be rated using the Dogg method, just the same as the rest of the forum.

By this I mean I hope to construct the plugin in such a way that if you wanted Member Profiles, for instance, to be rated separately using the Dogg method all you'd have to do is read the instructions and spend 15 minutes with a bit of basic copying and pasting. All your AdminCP settings would automatically apply to your new rating area. That is what I am hoping for, no guarantees.

Secondly, you can't actually see it on the ForumDog website unless you're signed up as a member, but something else I did there was integrate the ratings system into the other Digg-like feature released on vBulletin.org: vBISpy, a screenshot of the ForumDog version can be seen here. It's heavily redesigned but you get the idea. The ratings can be included in the realtime feed of new posts and bad threads/posts can be hidden in just the same way.
