1) to add universal percentage rating system maybe where under each post anyone viewing it can give it his/hers rating %.. Then the system maybe could automatically calculate the average percentage ratio for each post , or..
2)to offer a rating of a.Terrible b.Bad. c.Mediocre d. Good e. Very good f. Outstanding/Artistic Quality
Building in a rating system for the gallery alone will be a bit difficult. I think the current "like" button suffices as a way of "rating" topics in the galleries. And I think it's not too difficult or costly to build in a filter. Please move the discussion about this to this topic:
viewtopic.php?f=5&t=14899. This topic is meant for the new forum home page.

Don't worry. I'm not going to make any serious changes to the forum in the next few months. This front page I'm creating now will replace the list of forums as the home page. With the new home page you can still access the list of forums (the current homepage) by clicking on "Forum" in the menu at the top. On the new front page it will be easier to find the "newest" things on the forum, together with featured and highlighted content. See it as a sort of forum newspaper.
Any other suggestions for the new home page?
