Yea, I've been around for a while now, and this is something I've never quite figured out...How does a particular post, end up with the Gold Stars next to it, in the forums? Is that some kind of "rating" system, or does it depend on how many "hits" a post gets?
I may be having a "blonde" moment here, (sorry ladies, but I'd rather say that, than "senior" moment, K? I'm in D'nile about the age thing...lol) So, Lucky...you got some 'Splainin' to do....please?
Tweek, By users clicking on the rating stars in the upper right of the forum. Click the first star to rate one start or the last star to rate 5 stars. The stars you see on the list is an average of all ratings.
Geez... all this time and I thought it was all about how many posts. Didn't even know I was supposed to rate stuff, Now I get to rate all those blond jokes...(insert big cheezy grin here)
D.J., please don't take offense at my blonde jokes on the Humor forum. It's all totally tongue-in-cheek. Besides, you want ironey? Since I "went" blonde, I get hit with all the usual "blonde" comments. AWESOME! At least their talkin' about me....True, I haven't had to deal with it, over a life-time. And I reckon, it could get old. But then again, so am I, and I'm enjoying all the attention, my "blonde" locks bring. So...bring it. We can handle it. We ROCK!
I gave you five stars and it didn't even register , dies it register a zero every time someone doesn't rate it ? It so anything that even registers at all against all those zeros must be OUTSTANDING
system, or does it depend on how many "hits" 
a post gets?
