Thread Rating Voting: Can Non-Mods Vote?

[Mk]

One time I voted on a thread, I don't know how I did it, but I did. Is it that only super-mentors and moderators can vote on a thread? And it was a strange techical mistake that one time?

You can vote on the thread using the "rate thread button", I don't think you can rtae your own thrad though.

 

[Mk]

I do not spot any rate thread button.

This button is where?

 

[Moonbear]

On the first page of the thread, right at the top of the first post, look to the far right. (Maybe look for it on a thread you didn't start in case it won't let you see it on your own thread.)

Edit: Better yet, I'll show you!

It's down below: Rate This Thread. I can't work it either. I think you may have to be a contributor to have the privilege of using it.

 

[Mk]

It doesn't even appear on mine.

Yay! Moonbear uses Safari... on Mac OS X Panther I'm guessing?

Hmm...must be something only contributors have access to? Seems odd that only contributors can rate threads.

I never remember the animal names...10.3 I love it!

 

[zoobyshoe]

Oh, noooooooo. I have turned yellow...

 

[zoobyshoe]

I became a contibutor to see if I could access the thread rating. I can, it let's me vote, but now I am YELLOW

Don't worry, it's just a touch of jaundice. It goes away in about a year, unless you did that 6 year subscription thing.

Well, who knew that the ability to rate threads would be the magic feature that convinced people to become contributors! Here I thought it was the ad-free viewing!

 

[zoobyshoe]

I gave this thread a 5 but don't see the 5 stars. Vote it a 5, moombear, let's see what happens.

About time you started earning your keep around here.

 

[zoobyshoe]

Yellow is not a good look for me, and filling out the form was a royal pain. However, now I have superpowers.

 

[arildno]

Well, I can use the rating option without contributor status.

Did you actually try it? I bet it won't work for you.

 

[arildno]

Yes I did; the thread has now 5 stars.
In addition, if I try to rate it again, I get the bulletin message:

According to our records you have already voted on this thread. Changing votes is not allowed.

 

[zoobyshoe]

So, I guess all it takes is two people to declare a thread a 5 star thread.

What form? I just sent 'em $25 and turned yellow.

Check his other credentials, Zoob. I think he outranks us. He is, after all, the official Norweed-in-residence.

 

[zoobyshoe]

It's "Norwayan", not "Norweed."

You'll have to take that up with Evo. I don't start 'em; I just steal 'em.

You don't take responsibility for your own thefts? I guess there's no honor among thieves.

Hush, you! I'm trying to get the little bugger to pay up.

I'm an Eastlander, actually.

Damn! I thought you were asleep.

 

[arildno]

Easterling, if you please.

"A boring Oslovian." Quite so.

 

[zoobyshoe]

Easterling, if you please.

Or Easternian

"A boring Oslovian." Quite so.

Oslonese, maybe.

 

[zoobyshoe]

Bæring. Bæring. I can write it, but I have no idea how to pronounce it.

 

[arildno]

Lengthen the vowel in words like "cap,flap", and insert that vowel in between "B" and "ring"
