Forum Question - What Do "Ratings" Do?

[pobsta]

What are they for? You can rate a thread, but what effect does it take? I can't see a popularity rating anywhere.

Sorry, this is the first forum I've ever used.

I rated your thread high to see

Not sure what it does though :P

I rated it too, hoping to find out.

Me three.

Maybe it's a feature that the guys running the forum have turned off. I remember one forum where they had ratings that showed up next to topic names, so people would know how helpful that topic was.

Yeah that's my guess. Cheers.

why'd they turn it off. i got a vague memory that after registering and typing my first posts i could also rate threads...
