Just to keep you guys in the loop.... I had hoped that the "ready made solution" that was available for rating threads was a good one. Unfortunately it cost us 18 Euro and has been less than stellar in terms of execution. There are some great aspects to it but the critical ones (like ratings logic) is not working the way we need it to. Currently, the way it sorts is as follows: a thread that is rated 1 star (rated 5 times) will show above a 5 star build that has only been rated once. There is no weighting to it so results are skewed. Essentially the rating logic is flawed. This is going to be corrected forthwith. We have been speaking with a professional developer; one of the key figures in the XenForo community and he comes highly recommended from two acquaintances I have developed while we plunge head first into the XenForo world. Chris D is the guys name and he knows his stuff. Yes this will cost us a lot more than 18 euro but in the end we will have a custom script that meets our needs specifically and not just an off the rack ready made solution. Sadly, this also means that the ratings that are currently in place will all be wiped and we will start over however this should be the last time that engine needs reset as it will have all the features and it will work the way we want it to. That is all, Mechwarriors!
