Ok: I'm stumped, how do you get to the User Ratings at Anandtech?

Click the profile button near the top of the page. Select the On radio button for "Allow Others to Rate You". Click Update Profile.

Yeah, I've got that part down. It was the easy part. But now, how would I check up if people hate/love what I type? Am I just blind (maybe it is in faint gray 0.2 mm high text on a white background like much of the rest of FuseTalk 3.0)?

See the blue glasses in the right-hand corner of lo5750ul's post?
You click on those to see his profile and user-rating.

Notice how you don't have any blue glasses in your posts? You need to enable your profile so that people can view it (same place you enabled "Allow Others to Rate You").

Well at the minute you don't have your profile accessible, so no-one can rate you.

 

[TuffGirl]

Yeah to make your profile accessible, go back into your update profile page. Click the radio box for 'Profile Visibility'. Then to check your ratings, you can go to any of your posts and click the 'View Users Profile' icon, the pair of glasses.

Rated you a 10, too bad somebody else gave you a 1

 

[dullard]

Ah, ok that is why I haven't been able to find it for 6 months. I selected allow users to rate me, but that was useless unless I also select enable profile. Thanks. There should be a note about that somewhere.

<< Rated you a 10, too bad somebody else gave you a 1 >>



10's and 1's are unimportant to me. Anyone can like/dislike a single post and immediately rate a 10 or 1 regardless of other things I've said. The scores from 2 to 9 are quite valuable though. For example if you look at a poll of a certain politician. Many people will blindly give a 10 if they are of the same political party or a 1 if they are of the opposite political party. Those raters are idiots, since no one can agree/disagree 100% with every single issue. Its the ratings in between that count.

Edit: it doesn't break down the scores, so the overall rating is based mostly on the extreme 1's and 10's. Thus you lose all helpful information.

Then why are you asking? There is no way of knowing individual ratings. Just an overall rating.

My edit shows my dislike of the system. I hoped it operated like the polls here (with specific numbers of each vote listed). I will turn it off. Thanks all for your help.
