How to rate posts

When you view a post you will see the ratings section above the post. You should rate the post on the quality and content of the post and the picture attached.

The ratings section will look something like this, depending if anyone has rated it or not.

To rate the post simply click on the dropdown rating and select a rating for the post.

Once you have rated the post you will see something like this. On the left in the ratings drop down will be the rating you gave the post and on the right will be a breakdown of all the ratings. You can adjust your rating at any time after your initial rating.

Hi

Pics can be of any time, as long as they are yours. Note the mention of "post a photo of your catch" in the original post.

The date, species, etc, should be noted in the post that accompanies the pic but is not essential for the comp.

How do you know when someone votes for their OWN photo a couple a hundred times ?. :-X

Fly'n'hi Chris.

You can only vote/rate a post once. You can change your rating but the system will remove the current rating and apply the new rating. You can also remove your rating by selecting "--" from the dropdown selection after you have rated a post.

I have added the ratings feature to this post so members can have a play araound with the feature.

When you rate the post you will notice that everytime you go back to the post it will have your rating selected in the dropdown box. You can change your rating as often as you like, or remove it, but the system will only count it as one vote for that post.

Should they be judged by the size of the fish or the photographic quality?

[imported_admin]

It is up to the members to decide how they rate them as some members may be more interested in the story, some the photo, some the species, etc....

Hi fellas
Just curious as to why some people are ranking a real good fish, such as the big LT a one. :( >:( ???

People should be getting fair dinkum and give a photo a score that proper represents the effort of the angler.

Cheers Matt
