The "Star" ratings box
Friday, October 12, 2007 by AiTakahashi | Discussion: Stardock Support General
Hi, I don't know if this is the first time such a request has been made, but in the skin-downloads pages, I've found the download button and skin-ratings box to be in such close proximity that I have on occasion inadvertently clicked a rating, rather than the download button. This is partly due to me being a bit hasty with the mouse, but also the fact that the ratings-box is a mouse-over item. As such, and to illustrate, I went to download Essorant's recently updated "Nuage Redux" 'blind, but by the time I clicked the download button, the ratings mouse-over had activated, and a two-star rating was taken instead. Is there any chance these two entities could be separated some more? (...and if poss, admin - could you adjust my mistaken 2-star rating for that skin to 5 stars?)
Thanks, in advance.
Thanks, in advance.

Thanks for that. I get the distinct impression that many people think I'm complaining about something that's my fault, or that I'm doing something wrong. What you're describing is exactly what I've been trying to explain since the start of this thread, and I suspect some folks, specifically those who haven't experienced it, don't even realise what we're talking about.

I dunno IR, i just messed with it for about 5 mins, I seriously have no problem rating or downloading as long as my mouse is in right place. Guess I'm just not seeing it.

I'm not trying to downplay the problems anyone is having. I am in the same boat as vS...I just don't seem to share the problem with the ratings box. That does not mean that it doesn't exist. Hopefully it will be taken care of with the revamped site. That way, we can all go about our merry rating and dl'ing ways.....

Its a matter of taking ur time whether its rating or downloading.. like Killajosh said.. adapt.
Sorry John...your wrong...it rolls back up BEFORE you can rate...its not a matter of time,precision or holding your tongue properly.Its a bug that has existed before this thread was ever posted.
It turned into a larger issue because there were too many people not getting it because they havnt experienced the prob.Telling us WE must be doing something wrong and ragging us for continuing to wonder about why it was never fixed was out of line.
The whole little area there has been wonky for as long as I can remember...images disappearing,popup interefering with downloading...and the popup rolling back up for no reason.
Time and resources aside...this is a frequently used element on the site as a whole...some of us obviously thought it more important than others.Bothered me enough that for a while,I just stopped downloading or rating.
