its some sort of silly user rating system.

I think when it first was implemented, we universally agreed not to pay any attention to it.

User rating system - I just voted for you and moved you from two stars to three - yipee! Congratulations! <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

I'm actually more curious what that burning little flame means on the left of the thread topic title.

Is that good or bad, LOL??

Means it is a hot thread. Once a thread gets more than x amount of posts or views, it has a fire next to it.
When we first upgraded it was set too low for our Forums and every thread had a fire glittering away and was quite annoying. So, we raised the bar.

tami,

If I'm not mistaken, I gave you the first star!!! That was quite a while ago...

Of course I think you are a STAR!!

Clayton

OTOH: Maybe you start with one and I did the second...??? Either way, I did one of the first!
