New changes to voting

It doesn't work for me in Opera 9.25 either.

It works for me in Opera, but it's rather tricky trying to get the mouse-over to register correctly.

You're right - it seems Opera only registers the "filled" portion of the character as clickable, so if you try to click the "empty" middle section on the star character, nothing happens.

Also now the profile stars are a little tricky to find which one is each

Sooner or later you're going to realize that favorites are really an ugly special-case duplication of pool functionality. With private pools, you can even have multiple collections, so that you can, for instance, separate the posts that you would have favorited because they're pretty from those that you would have favorited because they're funny. You can even have a pool of posts you especially loathe; I, for one, could use that.

I like this idea. The only issue is coming up with a good interface for adding to pools, especially considering that the vast majority of pools are public. Even with a select menu, the list would grow very fast. Perhaps only display pools you created?

I got it to work now too, if "randomly clicking on the star for 2 minutes before it registers" counts as "work". I can't consistently do it, and don't know what Muey means; there is no empty middle section.

Before you mouseover, the star is "hollow", eg it only displays the contours. For the vote to register in Opera, you need land your click _exactly_ somewhere on the super-thin outline that makes up the star shape - clicking on the empty "inside" part of the star will have no effect (yes, the mouseover changes it to a solid version, but for some reason that doesn't seem to change the clickable area in Opera?).

Well, that's the only conclusion I could draw after some quick trial-and-error testing with the view zoomed in to 300%.

I guess the stars are problematic. Were you having this same problem with the original implementation?

I liked it exactly how it was, except for being able to vote more than once. Can you at least take out searching for user votes?

I've gotten enough feedback that I'm planning on reverting to the original up/down voting system. Concerns I'm hearing are mainly about usability and privacy.

Thanks, albert. Nothing is perfect, but the old voting system was good enough.

One thing I think would be useful, and probably relatively easy to implement would be how man total votes have been cast.

IE, image has a score of 100 out of 150 votes cast, or score has a vote of 10 out of 100 votes cast. That kind of thing.

Or not. Just a thought I had.
