Re: What does the "rating %" mean....
It's to do with thanks/recs. It just shows a rating for those with one rec, and a rating and a count for those with multiple recs.
I guess it's something like - percentage of those who read it, recced it.

Stooz provided an explanation back here:
viewtopic.php?f=21&t=5144&p=53060#p53060
A question or two was asked later in the thread but I don't think the formula was expanded upon:
viewtopic.php?p=53080#p53080

Re: What does the "rating %" mean....
That formula is incorrect ( It might be what stooz intended but not what actually happens) It appears to be the % of the most recced post ( currently stooz's initial announcement which has a 100% rating )
There are threads with just a few posts and only one recced post which has a 2% rating. All across the site 1 rec get 2% 2 gets 4% etc

I wasn't suggesting I even understood the explanation let alone the implementation.
I assumed that Stooz was being deliberately mysterious in the way the thing works or was supposed to work. Not that it worries me one jot.

That's a very plausible explanation. Looking at app.php/toplist seems to confirm. Not sure the rounding is up but didn't check many.
Here's a 2% for you ...

Re: What does the "rating %" mean....
Interesting in my notifications I had "Received thanks from Melonfool" followed immediately by "Removed thanks from Melonfool". Should I be hurt?

Fixed it.

Too kind but the 2% was for robbelg (now 5%).
Strange how the Thumbs up function for Scott. keeps resetting itself.

Re: What does the "rating %" mean....
In short it is nothing but confusing. I will be removing in the next update. All we are really interested in is the count of the thanks.

I've just noticed that if you have received 1 "Thanks" you still see a % but if you receive more than one you get a count and then the % below it.
Not a problem, just thought you might be interested.

That's the way it's been since the start, isn't it?

Until stooz mentioned removing the % I'd never noticed a count of recs.
Hence my comment

I see. My first reply on this thread does point out that you only see a count for multiple recs, and this was before stooz talked about changing anything. Hence I don't think anything's changed.

The percentage is now gone. HBEN, they only appear if you have received thanks (the thumbs up image)

Indeed, but what happens now if you get only one thanks is that the post grows a line of dashes (-----------) at the bottom, and no count anywhere in sight ... looks odd
