Would it be possible to rate threads instead of (or inaddition to) members? A lot of replies does not necesarily mean it is a good thread, and a post with few replies may still be a V Good read. We don't really get to see a member's rating until after we have opened the thread and by that time we can quickly form our own opinions by the content of his/her post/reply.

Good idea. I've asked the vendor to consider adding it to the program. If they don't, it may be something I can add in myself. (In all my spare time...)

I'll let you know if I hear anything more from them on it.

Thanks

PteJoe,

Member ratings are completely subjective. They allow you to express your opinion on a given member. Member ratings can be used (or ignored) by other users to see how well respected a member is when he posts.

Hope that helps.

Cheers

I understand.

I was wondering, do you plan on creating like an email system? [email protected] ?

You can get stuff setup like www.everyone.net

Just an idea

Probably not. Although I can see there being some interest in getting a [email protected] address, the wole site is still running on a 486 (sorry, I haven't upgraded yet). I don't want to put any additional burden on the system that would cause things to run any slower than they already are...
