What's up with the "Rate this Thread" thingy?

When I view threads, there’s a little box about the bottom with a “Rate this Thread” dropdown. When I use it, it takes me to the “Metacom, you are not allowed to view this page” page.

It’s a vBulletin feature that is not enabled. It would allow you to vote on how interesting / useful / stupid a thread is, in your opinion.

I rate this thread 6.2.

On what scale?

De Lisle.

I don’t see it; is this one of those things that appear/disappear depending on what stylesheet one has selected?

It’s not supposed to show up for anyone. But the programmers did so in a rather slipshod way: They left it in the HTML, but with an instruction to the browser not to show it. So if you have a browser that doesn’t understand that instruction, you’ll see it.

Richter

So some of us see it, and some of us don’t. Does that mean it’s real or not?

It’s a mental process. It’s real only in your mind.

Roma.
…sorry…

It’s as real as the universe, Lib.
