Re: An encore on ETs future (none / 1)

We could however change the text for the rating. for example, "score:4, rated by 3 users", or some such thing.

Re: An encore on ETs future (none / 0)

what would the text say in the case of the first comment, before it had a score though?, if it says "score:0, rated by 1 users" that could cause just as much misunderstanding.

"score:none, rated by 1 users"
the score is always 'none' until 2 or more have rated.

That is, the variables are 'score' and 'num_ratings'. Further, there is info for making the link to the display ratings page.

Another possibility is display "(none/1) See who rated you." Making the link more explicit, so that people will maybe be more likely to click through when they believe to have been downrated.

Re: An encore on ETs future (none / 1)

could the "none" text be changed to "no average yet"? or does it display as a numeral?

Re: An encore on ETs future (none / 1)

That would be harder. The word 'none' is delivered to the formatting block. No code allowed in that block, so we can't easily change it.

Re: An encore on ETs future (4.00 / 2)

hmmmmmmm, cant think of any suitable wording at the moment, there's got to be some somewhere though.

Re: An encore on ETs future (4.00 / 2)

There could be a solution. Javascript can in fact be inserted, so 'none' can be replaces with something better, potentially.
