Are ratings by subscribers applying ?

from WinCustomize Forums
I noticed that ratings seem a bit off lately. Most of the time it it 'feels' like my rating doesn't even apply. I hit the star and my cursor seems to bounce off. Sometimes a page starts to reload when I hit a star to rate.

What I'm noticing is that a lot of different galleries the ratings on various items remain what they were given when uploaded from moderation. Its like the subscribers ratings are nulled out and can't over ride a moderators rating at all. Even in screen shots I've noticed that my rating doesn't change anything when it always did before.

For example:
WWW Link
This wall has 1 star. There is nothing wrong with this wall. It may not be a Masterpiece but it certainly merits more than a 1 star rating.

2 subscribers gave this wall 5 stars and yet it remains on 1 star. I cant see how this is possible if ratings are being applied.

This is only one example...Ive seen quite a few items like this. Ratings aren't changing from the initial rating even though some items have 10 + comments ( all good )

Anyone that has been around awhile hopefully has learned to ignore the ratings when first uploading. After about a month it will most likely have the rating it deserves.


Greetings Night Train....used to be that way for sure, but seems to me that for a least 6 months or so, whatever rating a piece has after the first week, it almost always never changes after that. At least for work that I watch. May be that fewer people are actually voting these days. I do not know the reason.

Yes kenwas, I agree within the first 2 weeks the rating pretty much is set. Could be the only real problem is not enough votes. Perhaps voting and commenting should be collected, whenever you download it. I try to do that in each and every case, but I'm not always consistent with that.

And, I understand the original topic. Are ratings applying? Is there a system glitch? I did notice for about 2 weeks in each and every case where I voted there was no effect. And, I too thought that this was strange and a departure. What's more I still like the idea of a vote revamping. Comments are already viewed by all, it isn't that much more of a step to have a write a critique function directly showing the rating given and the reasons for the rating.

To really get back on topic, my ratings haven't changed anything for awhile now. They use to, but not anymore. I agree with Karen. I think something has broke down due to the change over that is in process.
