can anybody make a digg styled post voting system

[Reeve of shinra]

For kicks, I may work on this. How are the ratings done? Is it capped at 5 positive / negative?

edit: hmmm, im not sure what the best way of limiting the vote to once per user would be.

I am thinking that there would be a seperate table with a field for the post id and another field containing the user id's that voted already. When a user submits a vote it would check against the table before processing. How would you store the various user id's? Would you serialize the field somehow?

Is an INT that gets added/removed Reeve. Pretty easy.
It can go up to +/- 100000000

Use the IP, like in the VB vote system.

Login with test/test to see the full extent of it (feel free to browse around and try to rate posts and see how posts below your minimun threshold looks like and rate posts and what not, it will be deleted before the forum goes live anyways) - It's powered by NuRatings - costs $25 dollars - well worth it

sweeeeeeeet. that is it. nice! did you have to tweak it a bit to work like that?

Yeah, I probably spent around 10 hours or so editing templates, phrases, images and all of that shabang. Would probably take someone who actually knows what they're doing a lot less time though And I also had to do more or less "double" work with the templates, since I had to modify GARS templates as well to get it working properly there.

All in all, I still think it will be worth it once I open up the site though It's a pretty cool feature, which I'm sure you'll agree
