File Rating System
Posted by Magnus on 14 March 2004, 18:25 GMT

The first part of our shiny new file rating system has been finished. This is the part that will collect the rating of the community, and store it in our database. We do not yet create any reports based on the ratings information, but will eventually. As usual, you can only rate each file once.

So, please go ahead and rate a lot of files. That way the initial rankings will contain valid data once they go up. To rate a file, bring up its file information page, and select your vote.

Update (Joey): We didn't forget about Pi Day, but no one around here could come up with enough material for an article. I guess you could go read mine from last year, or even better, Andy's article from four years ago. Happy Pi Day.

Update (Magnus): The forms now show which end of the scale means good and which means bad.

This may sound like a stupid question, but how do you see what rating a program has gotten? It said that it will be there the next time ticalc updates their statistics, but I don't see them. Thanks in advance!

I have seen lots of people at the college who keep on downloading at ticalc but never ever rate the files or writte a review, is this really working??, I guess you should try asking for at least voting for the first file you download everyday or something better that make people vote.....

Click on the file you want to review and click "Write a review." You can't miss it...

Actually he asked how to rate a file not write a review. However the rating scale is found on the fileinfo page (click the little icon next to the .zip file name) and just seect the rating you wish.

Oh, I wrote a Pi Day article. I wrote so many Pi Day articles that they should create another Pi Day that is really my birthday, because I truly embody the essence of all that is Pi Day. Jeez, people, it's a simple relation: Pi Day = nickd. Click on my link up there for an example of the magic you're missing out on. Bask.

Holy crap, I just realized that that was the exact same thing posted in the news item. Guess I should do my research. Meh, it's finals week. I have an excuse.

Hey, whatever happened to the allfiles.zip? That was really handy, but I can't find it anymore. I also can't access the archives from FTP. WHY!?!?

I'm confused. When can we see the number that the file was rated? I remember reading it would be a dot plot or something. Am I the only one that can't find it?! I'm confused!! :(
