WAY TOO MANY THREADS with stars, let alone 5 stars being shown. Clearly an abuse of the intended purpose. Seriously...knock it off. You don't get a badge for flagging a post to have stars.

The problem here is clearly climate change, OK?

I'm thinking it needs to be addressed with extreme prejudice. It's amazing how such a nice piece of the internet gets corrupted by the few. Be a good steward or GTFO. :yesnod:

Don Rickles noticed the same thing that I did, so shut mine down please. It's still a valid observation.

11 Meerkats died in Southern Africa last week and you're concerned about this?

I don’t know how to use this star system? I don’t pay any attention to it. :island14:

If it will help, I can begin starting mediocre threads undeserving of 5 star ratings, instead of my always superlative, award winning threads that of course rate 5 stars. I'm a team player!

I never even knew we had the ability to rate threads until SanitaryTurdStorage made it known.

What this place really needs is a way to rate individual posts, not just threads. :yesnod:

I wish someone would fix the "Go to first new post" function -- the icon just to the left of the thread title with the down arrow, circled below. :( Hovering shows the function but clicking it doesn't do anything.

Plus, after reading a thread the title should then show un-bolded until someone posts in it, only then the title should be bold again.

He's probably using the back arrow instead of clicking on the "off topic" selection at the bottom of the page (Gene posted the same anomoy)

What are these stars you speak of..?? and how does one give/receive them?

I've seen threads the douchenozzle has started and they already had stars with 0 replies. Just like a pimple on your ass, ignore it and it will eventually go away.

I am more of a lately, vs. chronic, as only discovered the star-rating system this week.

I give myself 5-stars for all threads I start, there are some in here I always give 1-star to,,, any guesses??

Been using Firefox since the early 2000s. I've been on countless forums (since 1994) and never saw one where it didn't work.

Does the bold/un-bold feature work for you?

I noticed that the number of thread ratings was low at the other place, but when I vote it doesn't register for some reason.:Jeff '79:
