The rating feature is complete. Complete complete. It works wonderfully: Image Hosted by ImageShack.us Hosted by ontheheap Hosted by Rob Loach Hosted by Ben Ryves The incomplete feature of the last version is now complete. Download, install, restart firefox, tools>grab rating data, and you'll never have to do that again. It'll remember how you've rated everybody from now on (assuming you always rate people through the extension). Cool huh? I kinda axed the "see how much damage I did" feature until later. It's time to do some other features: // gdnet features: // [X] In-page rating V0.1 // [X] Better error messages when not logged in V0.2 // [X] Find out about 0-10 ratings V0.2 // [X] Get rid of annoying alert V0.2 // [X] Show current rating in the in page rating V0.2 // [X] Store rating data in a local cache V0.3 // [ ] Popup dialog posting V0.4 // [ ] Add FAQ information to quick post page (smilies) V0.4 // [ ] Add the crap to make it work with mozilla, too V0.5 // [ ] Collapse low rated posts V0.5 // [ ] Update user's rating after rating V0.5 // [ ] Login handling V0.6 // [ ] Code cosmetics // [ ] Eliminate yucky global variables // [?] Use try...catch blocks for most error handling // [?] Be more concious of memory requirements for closures... // [ ] Remove gobs of stale dead code edit: I need a checklist. a07cbc174753aac17c73d963b57713e2 [Edited by - C-Junkie on November 10, 2004 11:09:17 PM]

I'll install it later.
Chess is played by three people. Two people play the game; the third provides moral support for the pawns. The object of the game is to kill your opponent by flinging captured pieces at his head. Since the only piece that can be killed is a pawn, the two armies agree to meet in a pawn-infested area (or even a pawn shop) and kill as many pawns as possible in the crossfire. If the game goes on for an hour, one player may legally attempt to gouge out the other

A mighty cool idea. More feedback will follow when I have actually tested it.

For convenience:

Auto-Install Link

Should work. You will need to add GDNet to your trusted sites list though.

It wouldn't install:(. it said the file was currupt.
You're using Firefox... right?

EDIT: Or another browser that'll work with it. (not IE6) [razz]

Hmm, it seems to work nicely. I have a suggestion though: Make it show current ratings in the member search results page, if you can. I think that that would be quite cool.

It's a Firefox (maybe Mozilla too? I dunno) extension, something that IE doesn't support. IE uses its own browser helper object system for adding things like this, but it's a completely different system.

Because it's a Firefox extension, obviously.

Oh, one more suggestion: Can you make the original "rate user" link stay? It seems to be the only way to check what rating you've given to people without using the extension.

What you rated them should be bolded. Try Tools->Grab rating data.

Hmm, I tried that (I hadn't seen it) but it doesn't seem to have done anything. I'll play around with it.

EDIT: Now that I've refreshed the page, it works fine.
