Im amazed :D Its sound really coooool :)

Well, I'm amazed it has entered the public phase. After an harddisk crash all the work was lost. I really like the import utility so I can transfer to the new version. :p

LOL. Me too.

It only took 6 months ;)

It is ;)

You should try it :)

So, there have been quite a few downloads already.

Has anyone gotten this up and running on their site yet?

Care to share a link with us so others can see some live implementations?

Ive installed this. VERY good documentation and very easy install.

i would however like to customize the output of the thank you message a little further. Maybe by briefly replacing the star rating with the thank you message then fading the message back to the stars keeping it all inline.

check it out at www.dontlinkhere.com

Also it would be great to have a small star rating display (not option to vote, but just displaying the current rating) in the browse pages.

so you can browse the thumbnails, and see the photos avg rating under it. that would be a cool addition.

I like it, I'll see what i can do.

Hey,

I've also try'd this rating system, but i found a few problems.
When rating, it stores every rate somewhere. To clean it, there is a very nice tool delivered that NOT CLEANS the votes..
now i also have the problem that is doesnt say thank you! when voting, and my page refreshes after clicking the rating system...

help would be great, anyone?

are you sure the javascript is installed?
