The new design was came as a surprise, but it's looking good! I like the enhanced forces on the rating system, how about allowing the users to give votes between 1 and 10 instead of the current above/below-average that’s being “translated” to numbers anyway.. Consider it.. :-)

I was initially going to have people rating the images on a scale from one to ten as you suggest. However I felt that the rating system was very subjective and that it would be more accurate if it was just good or bad. This was the system relies more on the number of votes than on the few people who give everything either 10 or 1. If people actually used the 1-10 scale correctly then it would be better, however it usually just ends up diluting the votes from people who take the time to give a carfull rating.

I'm still considering other options though. BTW what enhancments did you notice on the rating system?

The enhancement I noticed was the image ranking page, that is a new feature - right?

I realise that some people have a tendency to abuse the 1-10 scale, but I think the majority of users would use it wisley.

Sorry, but that's been there ever since the image rating system was available. =)

Caedes, I would have to agree that a 1-10 system would be nice. I realize that some would abuse it but it would allow for those who really want to be accurate and honest to better express themselves. Thanks!

Are only members allowed to rate a pic?

Maybe it would be sensible to restrict rating to members only- that way we can be more certain that people won't abuse the 1-10 scale. If people are members, they are unlikely to want to bring down the system... just a thought.

That's a good thought. I have to agree.
