Posted: Sat Jul 15, 2006 3:11 pm Post subject: New Feature ? Rating Topics |
| |
Effective later today, all members will have the option of rating topics in several of our forums. I am going to start by activating this new feature in our Trip Reports, Accommodations and Restaurants forums. Based on member response, I will likely enable ratings in other forums.
In forums with ratings enabled, you will see a box near the bottom of the various topics that says: ?Rate Topic? giving you the option of assigning between 1 and 5 stars
to the topic. The more stars, the higher the rating, with each vote counting towards its cumulative average. It will also indicate the topic?s current rating and the number of votes it has received. The ratings will appear next to each topic?s title in the various forums and 5-star rated topics will automatically become a sticky, for as long as it maintains that rating. Ratings will not appear under our various search/sort features, as that would be somewhat distracting.
Each member will be allowed to vote only once for any given topic.
Ratings apply to sticky topics so you can 'vote' for your favorite resort, restaurant, condo, etc.
Our members can now determine which topics are the most valuable and influence their positioning. |
