star ratings

I'm giving star ratings to blinds but they do not always take on the first, second, third, etc. attempts.
has anyone else having difficulties giving star ratings?

They are showing up instantly for me. Along with this post, this thread, etc.
What browser are you using?

I use Firefox ID, been doing that for years on WC for me though, IE, FF, no difference. A lot of times I will post, look for the post and it is not there at all. So I leave it alone for several minutes and it appears. I imagine this is the reason for some of the double posts that occur on the site... people don't see their post and assume it did not take and post again.
I guess I should clarify what I said though, these things do not happen all the time, but they do happen a lot. Many times too I will have people say they posted a comment or a reply in a thread and I go to look, and it's not there. Even clearing my cache does not help. But again I wait 4-5 minutes and it appears. Just weird is all. 
Uploads not showing up immediately I understand, but is there a delay for an item to show up on the front page that is intentional? Takes anything I upload, which do not go through moderation, about 4-5 minutes to show up.

bets on how long it takes this thread to turn in to a bitchfest about the rating system?
(based on the title of it)

It will get locked if it does, that horse has been beaten enough.
There's no issue here when rating, so if anybody else has a problem then please post.

I'm using IE8. the rating has shown up, but it should be immediate, right?

I've seen this happen with my comments on a post in the forum, but it has not happened in a while. The star rating does take a while to show though. It's usually just a minute or two, though. (I use FF).

Okay, thanks, next time I'll come back to it after a bit, see if that works.

Star ratings do not show up immediately when you rate, they take about 5-10 minutes before they show up.
As a matter of fact, a lot of times nothing you do on WC shows up immediately, threads, posts, ratings, uploads... nothing. Which I personally find very upsetting.
