I think this column just takes up unessecary space,when was the last time you rated a thread?

I'm pretty sure it worked, Jan, but it's not displayed until at least 5 people vote for a particular thread.

A minimum of I think five or so people have to vote before the rating shows up, that's why very few threads here are rated. You should know that, Jan! :p

I think it'd more space-efficient if they just removed the thing.

You're a moderator now, you should be telling other people :p. Even if you don't know you should act like you do, gives others a good impression and you set a good example.

See, it works. Three stars. Let's see it go down. :D

Well I will know next time someone asks :biggrin2:

Look what I found in FAQs :)

Once enough votes have been cast for the thread rating, you may see a set of stars appear with the title of the thread in the thread listings. These stars reflect the average vote cast, and can allow you to quickly see which threads are worth reading if you are on a very busy board with a lot of threads.
