Ingolf Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 (edited) Personally, I like the obvious lift of steelbeasts.com but there seems to be some functions missing or not just yet implemented? The rating system of the community addons/documentation is not working at my end, even though it says that 7-10 ppl rated it, there is no "readable" indication/documentation of it. Why and how could we fix it? The opinions/arguments are not displayed and "stars" are not "filled". I would like to be able to rate scenarios/documentation etc. but don't know how at the moment. Is it coming? What am I doing wrong? I think this community is one of a kind compared to the mainstream gaming-community so I hope the Forum could evolve into something that is more responsive? What is the current potential here, is there a budget/strategy to make the forum even more user friendly? I know (as a long timer) that focus is on milsim classroom, so I just speak for the casual gaming part here. All the best, Broms.

Ingolf Posted March 23, 2017 Author Share Posted March 23, 2017 Ok, I'll respond to myself on this topic: Maybe, the reviews were past the renovation of the website? I do see the "stars" and comments of the newer addons so it may just be an issue with historic contributions? Still a bit confusing as I, myself, tend to keep an eye on highly rated material. Past or not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Sean Posted March 24, 2017 Administrators Share Posted March 24, 2017 There are a few things involved - the downloads import process could have lost some of these things and there was no choice in the matter because of the db design. Also, somewhere along the way, the reviews feature was broken - you have to download a file to review it, but it keeps telling you that even after downloading. I've reported this to the forum vendor. The forum will get a upgrade over the weekend, hopefully this fixes it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingolf Posted March 24, 2017 Author Share Posted March 24, 2017 Thanks Sean for filling in. Then I know there's nothing I can do at my end (browser etc) to "repair" the information. Good to know you're working on it. Not a major problem, but merely a lacking bonus Cheers and thanks for all the good efforts, Ingolf 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Sean Posted March 26, 2017 Administrators Share Posted March 26, 2017 I upgraded the forum, it seems to work. It's possible the reviews may be accidentally turned off in a category so let me know if you spot one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibsonm Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 I had a look at two of my "Tutorial" downloads (one from old forum and one from new). Whilst I had downloaded both I couldn't lodge a review for either. Unsure if that's because I'm the Author potentially reviewing my own file or a limitation of the browser on the Defence network. Will try again tonight and let you know. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibsonm Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 I will when I get to a computer system that allows it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I left a review; your scenario certainly deserves the five stars! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibsonm Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 (edited) Mirzayev, Thank you for the comments. Sean, When I download the file again I was prompted to score it and write a review. Seems happy with the proviso that people re-download any files before being able to write the review.

Homer Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 There's also a comment section that does not require downloading the file in order to post to it. Go to any file and locate the User Feedback section > The first line should read: "# Reviews # Comments" > Click on "# Comments". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingolf Posted April 2, 2017 Author Share Posted April 2, 2017 (edited) Thanks for the efforts everyone. If it is to any help; I did a test on one of my own small contributions here: It states 7 reviews (from previous web version) but they are not readable, nor do they contain any rating (stars). Today I was able to review my own upload (including star-rating). But the archived reviews still do not show up. So, now there's 8 reviews and only my "dummy"-review show up. I do not mean to rate my own uploads but would like to see others comments in order to improve my contributions. Perhaps there should be a lock so that authors can't rate their own contributions? For me it is something that wouldn't be necessary as we are quite a grown-up community. But just sayin.

It's too late to go back and do anything about it a year or so after the fact. What we can do is make sure it works correctly moving forward for future reviews. There is no current way to prevent authors from reviewing their own files. I don't think its been too much of a problem over the last 15 years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
