Hi, I think an article having a grand total of 4.89/5 from 84 users, is more popular than on having 5/5 from 6 users. Why not taking the # of voters in to account also? (84 * 4.89 > 6 * 5) Were talking about "popular" aren't we? :) Bye, Geert
My formula is wrong: If 100 voters give an article a 1 that means it's a bad article. And surely not better/more popular than one getting a 4 of 10 users. But, my suggestion isn't wrong: Somewhere there must be a formula to express that 4.89/5 from 84 voters is more popular that 5/5 from a couple of voters. Anyone a suggestion? (Because I think that's what you need to implement it, isn't it Chris?) Bye, Geert.

Many people have thier own methods of rating articles. Some of them seem well done but have a very low score. Trying to modify the current formula doesnt seem worth it imho. Especially when people are voting a 1 on certain articles just to bump thier own in the grand scheme of things. Just my 2 cp and a cup of mojo. Mark A

Unfortunately, using the # responses to weight the rating only works when you have 2 articles of the same rating. But I agree that an article that's been rated 5 by a just a few users is unlikely to be more popular than one rated less than 5 by many more users. /ravi "There is always one more bug..." http://www.ravib.com ravib@ravib.com
