pG Post Ratings

Here is an add-on we have had for a while, and you can see some members using it, others not sure where it is, what it does, etc. Well, hopefully this will explain.

When we converted to xenForo, many users asked about "rep" being used. After quite a debate, it was concluded that "Likes" (which are used by xenForo) is the same representation as "Rep", what vBulletin uses. We have used just that simple system for a while, until this was released. Well, I think it takes Likes, adds in Reps, and also adds in your own personal "rating" for the post. The system works very well, and it would make your forum experience here better if you used it and shared your opinions on other posts.

To begin with, after reading a post, and you want to rate it, follow this:



As you can see in the image above, once you "rate" the post, a bar appears with how it was rated. Clicking on the "List" link at the end, will bring up a box showing you who rated each post and what it was rated, such as this:


You can currently see you [ + / = / - ] ratings on your membercard:


As you can see, I have 98 positive ratings, 1 neutral rating, and 1 negative rating.

Once I go into my profile page, there is a breakdown of each under your avatar showing which description you have been tagged with the most, as well as showing you which ratings you have given:


From the above, you can see I have been a rather nice guy, not giving out any negatives yet.

Now, when you ahve received a rating, you will receive an alert:


As well as showing up on your News Feed:



As far as what we currently use here at pG, we have:


We don't use Friendly, Optimistic or Creative at the moment. If the GFX area starts taking off, that could easily be implemented again. We will take suggestions for icons, or additional "Ratings". Be warned though, we are very particular about what images are used, they have to match the style of xenforo and the look, as well as our theme. The size will stay the size you see, nothing larger

We hope you enjoy this feature here at pG, our apologies on taking so long to get a FAQ out about it. If you have any questions or comments, please, feel free.

Thanks

Also, this add-on is currently being updated by the Dev. As soon as it is emailed out, I will upload here for all to enjoy.

He has been taking suggestions from the community, and he is adding them in. Nothing posted yet on his end, other than he is still working on it.
