Rating and popularity question
-
Do they only get updated once a week or something? Just wondering because my article has recieved several votes this week so I plugged the numbers into an excel spreadsheet. I got 11.51 popularity instead of 11.42 and a rating of 4.87 instead of 4.83. Just got curious as to how often that gets updated and if my math is wrong. Not a major issue ... I need to be utilizing my time better and working on the project a little more instead of worrying about ratings. :laugh: Thanks,

AFAIK these numbers are updated immediately. However you can't duplicate the calculations involved as you don't have all the necessary information: all votes get a weight depending on the reputation color of the voter; I believe it is 8 for platinum, 4 for gold, 2 for silver, 1 for bronze/none. If you give all votes a weight of 1 you would be off a bit. As your calculations lead you to higher numbers, the consequence is (at least) one of the colored guys has given you less than 5. :)
