    only if you know that the color and the "noise" settings are related. i recall one of the regulars (forget which) as late as last week thought people were just coloring their own post headers for the fun of it. -c

    Oh sorry, it seems I missunderstood the noise filter - I just assumed it didn't show messages below your noise threshold, but then of course we wouldn't see the grey coloured ones anyway then would we? :-O

            Almost never. I think I've only done it once or twice. I think it should be

            (1)Bad (2)Neutral (3)Good.

            Otherwise, it's just kind of useless to have a 1-5 scale.:|

              I'm pretty much the same way and will only rate when I feel extremely strong about something that was said. Otherwise, it seems pointless to give a 3 for an average comment.

                      until there's a key, they're worthless. only a dozen people know what the colors mean. and if you don't know the secret color code, you can't tell what the rating is until you actually read the post - which defeats at least part of the point of having ratings (so that you can skip low rated messages) -c

                      Chris, I have to tell you that I just went looking around your site again, and I found SAHotShot. Oh man! That program is awesome! Much better than WinKeys or any of the others that I've seen. :cool: Also, I'm going to recommend Snoop to my Dad. He's been looking for something that would let him do exactly what Snoop does. He'll be thrilled.

                                        there are two shades of red and two shades of grey. but, i can't seem to generate either of the middle colors any more. so, maybe there are just two now. :confused: see why it would be nice to have a key? -c
