Ratings

Personally I believe that the Ratings layout should be changed, just the text really.
You see how it says:
Quote:
Current Rating: 5

I think that you should be able to see how many people have rated it so you can more easily tell if it is a reputable article.  Right now one person could rate it a 5/5 and people think it's an extremely good article because it's a 5/5. I think it should be:
Quote:
10 people have rated this article a 4/5

Or something similar. If you feel me reply and tell me if you like it.

Re: Ratings

Format doesn't matter, I just think it needs to say how many people have rated.

Re: Ratings

Yeah that would work fine, it just needs to say how many people have voted or ranked it as.

Re: Ratings

My ideas:

"Rated 4 out of 5, based on 10 unique votes."

"Rating: 4/5 (votes: 10)"

... and such.

Remember that the final (displayed) rating is calculated from all the votes for that article.  Every individual rating can be different.  So you cannot assume that every vote corresponds to a rating of, say, 5.  Therefore, "10 people have rated this article a 4/5" would not be accurate.

Also, normally you should be able to choose the format, display this information however you want it.  That's what template systems are for.  Wink

Re: Ratings

I think the way Arwym put it makes the most sense.  It seems to me that is how many other sites do it.

Re: Ratings

Very good kawn... Although if you could do the stars thing - or even an interactive thing with the stars like on YouTube etc... That would be even better. Tongue
