Hey Christoph,

You know I'm fairly certain share.ez.no often has big dreams but often poor stubs (for show) as a result of incomplete implementations.

I always looked at it like this ... the designer of the site had really big dreams about rating site/forum content but the back end developers did not deliver on all the designers notions Re: Last forum activity dummy ratings icons.

I'm still watching and waiting for someone to stand up and make the difference on their own for their own needs instead of just talking about well ... you'll get the idea...

THEME: Sole : mansbestfriend pt. 6 "Radioactive Rain" : 1. One Step Ahead --> into --> 2. Blood Oath

I think it's actually influenced by the amount of replies/likes in a thread, but I could be wrong.

Well ... see .... the thing about all that is ...
From my vantage point (which i'm sure most question at least) ...

until there is a top down view on rated content on all of share.ez.no

AND

until there is highlighted content based on previous ratings ...
(like highlight forum threads and or replies of rated interest)

I see almost no reason to do much more than continue to ignore
the stars next to the last forum activity forum thread listing on share.ez.no

Cause ... that's a lot of work to provide all those kinds of features ...just to connect user submitted content to ratings to the 'share.ez.no game' in a way that actually connects users who want to rate good content fairly to visible results based on their interactions. It's prolly a lot harder than I generalized. But without some kind additional features for the users I just don't see these concepts being fostered.

ratings ... that if memory served me, were not being fostered
in the beginning anyway (I think because of the
lack of a top down view of rated content even though that becomes a
problem in itself even before you go down that path).

It's funny in a way. Do you remember, could you? What if we were forbidden from saying, would you figure it out, would it matter .. to you?

No one remembers why the forum addict list used to be a separate page or why it's not any more. I think the reasons are far too similar to why rated content on share.ez.no is more or less just an icon.

Try Harder ...

Hi Christoph, 

This is a relique of the time where the forum threads were decorated with a star-rating inset. Simplification kicked-in, and the like/unlike buttons replaced star-rating, but the home-page blocks were not updated accordingly, by pure lack of resources.

Cheers !

PS : indeed : 5 stars for this thread
PS2 : would you mind reporting this on this portal's issue tracker : http://issues.ez.no/ProjectSelect.php?Id=6 ? Thanks !

Hey !

thank you for your nice answers. 

@kracker: I'm not completely sure if I got everything right you wrote, but my biggest question mark is next to:

And also posted that on the issue tracker  

Best Regards
