Rating a thread

[Hygro]

When you rate a thread, it says thank you for adding your vote.

However I noticed it doen't seem to add to any votes (for your own view), instead it displays what you voted.

I'd like to see the general vote after I vote. Is that possible?

how do you rate a thread?

I know its posible (from other simalar forums) but is it enabled.

Obviosly the results are not shone (disabled by TF)

The ratings are only available in certain subforums. Check some of the Civ 3 Creation & Customization subforums, I know that ratings are enabled there.

I believe that it does show the average vote, though. Mebbe your vote just happened to be the same as the average vote?

 

[Hygro]

Often there will be no vote, or if I vote something drastically differant, it will show my vote. Like, if it's rated at 2 stars, and I rate it 5, it will be 5.

My experience seems to show otherwise. There was a thread rated one star, I rated it five, and it was rated three. Odd.

Maybe an average was taken? After all: (1+5)/2 = 3
Maybe the thread had had only one vote before you voted?

Yeah, it's probably an average, but what D&G was saying is that it displays the average on his computer (which is probably what it should do), instead of displaying his vote alone, like what Hygro said.

I think I'll go rate a thread and see what happens...

Edit: I rated a thread (by giving the Risk mod a 5; it had a 3-vote-average of 2 beforehand), and it displayed the average (3).
