Welcome to Rating Posts and Files

 

As a community user, you have the opportunity of rating the value of post and file content. Community Server uses a star rating system, which looks like this:

 

 

If you find a post or file that you particularly like or valuable, you can give it a high rating by highlighting four or five stars; or you can mark fewer stars for a post that you did not find useful at all. The more stars you highlight, the higher the rating. These ratings can be useful to remind you of the value of the post or to alert other members of the community to its value.

 

Procedure

 

The following procedure describes how to rate a forum post; however, the steps will be the same for rating media files. You will need to open the media file to access the rating functionality.

 

Open the forum post you want to rate. The rating functionality appears in the upper-right corner of the post.

 

 

Rate the post by pointing the cursor at the first star on the left and dragging the mouse to the right. When you have highlighted the number of stars you want, click with the mouse.

 

 

The rating box displays in the forum post list when you close the post.
