Problem with ratings

Hello,

I discovered that I can not rate some threads I'd like to rate- because I already rated them.
Well, I can swear that I didn't, but it seems like either someone hacked my account (what I don't think because nothing else was done under my name), or it's a software or handling error.

Is there a way to find out what happened, when the rating was done, and change it? I wouldn't complain about this if it happened only once, but there are at least 8 threads where this occured.

I'm using Firefox 4.0.1., if this helps.

Best regards,
Thorsten

EDIT: I just discovered that even the ratings on the first page in this folder ("HOWTO: Use the forums") are affected by this, but I never visited them before, so a fault click is excluded.

Hi Thorst,

Thank you for bringing this up! It is an issue that needs addressed.

I too have had this happen to me, several times.

Why? At issue is a thread I would have rated a 1, said I had rated it a 5 star. It was the first time I read the thread. It is also the last time I'll read it.

Finding more and more threads that seem to need a 1 star rating. I would like to be able to rate them as such.

Other threads start out ok, but soon drop off to a 1 star.

Why isn't it possible to rate them more than once?

Best regards,
Mike Bauer

The reason you cannot rate them more than once is that the score is an average of all ratings. I have alerted Rick about the other problem(s).

We are aware of it, I am not able to fix it with my skills, Jason might, or We would need to wait until an update of the forum software comes through.

I have the same issues, and I am an admin, so go figure.

Thank you for this. If you know this problem, do you have an idea how I can at least avoid more bad ratings from my account until the problem gets fixed?

it is an error that i also see, even when I know i have never rated a thread, it will say that it has been rated

It affects all members, not just you or me

This issue extremely made me mad for a while, after I introduced the latest 2011 version for PM but I found that someone might rated me for whatsoever score but it appeared that it was rated only 1 single star. After I read this thread so I found that it might have some errror with the computer system so please kindly correct it because some kids might get this problem and consider that there is some unfair vote for their works.
