[=b Rate this up] - Cannot rate your own content

Alexandra, thanks for the point, I had lost sight of. The number is a measure for awereness in the community (maybe also for quality). // ...and you'll agree: the points go in the wrong direction
For the second I'm wondering how it can be sooo hard to implement. People will love it :)
peppe, rating would be helpful if it was implemented the right way, I'm sure.

"Rate" implies to me some kind of evaluation/grade. If it was just called "Like" maybe it would make for less discussions around it. IMHO as it is, like or rate, does not add much value.
The number of views is probably a better and more reliable indicator for me.
If the idea is to rate we should, at least, have the rate up or down or, better yet, a score 1-5. Still, I don't know how much this helps anybody deciding to read or not a thread.
I really like the idea of "thanking" a post (not thread) because I believe helps to measure quality and not just quantity. Also whenever we get to the next wave of "Q&A" features it will help identify the "best" answers to a question....Just my 1 1/2 cts :)

Why? What's the point in rating threads? Do people really find interesting threads by their rating instead of typing some keywords on google because they have a problem to solve?

Where is you acceptance limit in a five-star system: 2.5 stars?

[quote author="Andre" date="1294412101"]So why can't the opening poster of a topic rate that topic up then? I mean, if I get an excellent answer to my question, why help make that usefulness visible to other by rating it up?[/quote]
warm up Why can't the OP rate his/her "own thread" without earning points?

IMVHO it would agree that rating your own post would make sense
I personally would not care who gets any points but I would find it quite useful:- if I could show my appreciation for a useful reply
- if i could rate the quality of the answer when marking a post as solved

That's in the works already. Stay tuned for the Trolls to announce it!

The bugtracer does have a nice search ;-)
Have a look at "QTWEBSITE-134":http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTWEBSITE-134

[quote author="Volker" date="1294783142"]It was mentioned a lot in some forum threads here. QTWEBSITE is still below 200 issues[1] - yet quite easy to search through :-) :-)
fn1. I'm doing my best to change this :-)[/quote]
For the DevNet component we're at just 39 issues, and most are suggestions. You guys are few steps ahead of us but we're getting there :)
