Scope: A brief "HOWTO" to make awareness for those that might not know you can rate, or not know how.
Purpose: I've noticed that in all of Civ 2 forums, there are only 2 (two!) threads which have a rating! GOTMs are a place where games/thoughts/strategy are compared & advice/opinion given. Naturally, some games/GOTMs/discussions are better than others. With a long history of 69 Civ 2 GOTMs now, I was hoping find a way that people "rated" at least some of them over the years. And one way is to look at the thread rating....
HOTWO Rate a Thread:
(View a thread & look at the top of it, on the right side)
1. Click the "Rate Thread" hyperlink.
2. A small window now appears.
3. Choose the rating you want to give (5 star=best, 1 star=worst).
4. Click the "Vote Now" button.
Screenshot #1: Voting for a thread:
Now for the mystery. What I don't know is how -- after I rate a thread for instance -- to get that rating to actually show up in the thread list (to see the rating stars in the "Rating" column)!
Screenshot #2: Why does no rating appear after voting?
(I've put this screenshot in spoiler menu, to prevent possible onscreen confusion).
