Style skinner-being a lowly citezen-I"M not privay to ratings-but when I got back in town today I noticed my theme had been approved but had very few downloads. Thinking maybe it wasn"t that good was the prob. So to check I loggoff and reload the page and it doesn"t show. That always means poor ratings which to me doesn"t seem right(I thought all themes or other that are useable and pleasant to the eye generaly get 6"s in moderation). Was just curious why such a low rating when I spent so much time on it and thought for what it was it should do better.Nothing more really

Styl skinner,thanks a million. And before anyone gets the wrong idea-its not about download counts and top author rankings,its the fact I spent a lot of time and effort to put this together and would be nice if the little "folks" could have a chance to see it. If they don"t like it,they rate it low and thats the end of the story.When something gets rated high and it really isn"t that good,time evens it out.But when something gets rated low in the beginning it doesn"t have the same oppertunity-does that make sence

They don't fix the old roads here. Just patch them and patch them and patch them.

Wom I thought they only did that in Florida-the old folks just think they are hitting tourists and not potholes

Thats true to a point and about the only thing I still have a problem with here.Ratings determining visibility does give an advantage to the "better" submissions.Its supposed to be a bandwidth issue but it kills a dl count.1 point can make the difference between 300 dl's a day and 15.

Sometimes the "patches" can be nearly as devastating as the pothole!

Styl Skinner: I don't agree with what you just did. Rating someone's work as a 10 just because they complain on the messageboard is unfair and makes a mockery of what we are trying to achieve with the rating system. If everyone complains on the board about their ratings, are you personally going to go around "putting it right"? It's not your place to do that, ratings are there for a reason. Not many of us like the rating system, and you can understand why when it's open to abuse like this.

Did you bounce her out of the back of a pickup after hitting a chuckhole?

BoXXI-to some extent I will have to agree with you-but on the other hand I can"t help but appreciate what Styl skinner has done for me. No, I didn"t start a thread to cry like a baby to get better rates but rather mildly complain that the system in use has flaws. And everybody PLEASE DON"T START FLAMEING. The only way to make change is thru level haeaded discussion.One shouldn"t rate ones work high or low on ones personnal opinion but rather on the merits of ones work.I can"t speak for Styl skinner or others but maybe,just maybe BoXXi,they feel like myself that the present system needs some fine tuning.Brainiac ,I would never do that to grandma-okay it was a 4*4

As a matter of interest...I uploaded a photo of a bicycle frame I built..just for the purpose of explaining something....it got rated by some smart-arse a '1'....now if it is about hours involved then I'll tell you that just the front deraillier hanger took three full days to fabricate,,,by hand, in 1/8" steel plate....the frame is perfectly true and was entirely hand-jigged lug-less brazing...so, if it's all about time/effort/input then '1' is just a little 'off'...

*ahem*...... Any thread that can be titled "Question for an admin" should probably be emailed to an admin, or two, or all.

Jafo how does a front deralliuer hanger work? all the bikes I worked on the front derailluer just bolts onto the frame... the derailluer has its own collar and goes around the seat tube.
I am going to give you a 10, the frame is so cool!
anyways if i uploaded anything I would not care what it was rated at, i would just be happy it got in...
