Announcements: Image ratings

Posted Aug 08, 2019 7:08PM EDT

I've just added ratings for pictures on the site. A few caveats:

  1. Ratings are currently showing only on the picture's dedicated page (found, for example, by clicking "More information..." in a photo gallery).
  2. Due to bug, ratings only show up when the page is reloaded. A note on the page alerts you to this.
  3. I'm not yet doing anything with the ratings. You'll soon be able to sort images by popularity and see the images you and others have rated on your profile pages, but for now the average rating just shows on the picture's page.
  4. I haven't started porting existing ratings from the old site yet.

This is another feature I quickly half-completed to have it out in time for tomorrow's newsletter. 😀 Even though you don't get much for the effort right now, I'd appreciate it if you take the time to rate some pictures so we have more data to work with this weekend.

Thanks to all for the help and encouragement,
Jeff
