Does anybody know whether there is already an issue pending for this rating nightmare?
If yes, would you please give us a link?

[quote author="peppe" date="1294414113"] 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?[/quote] It's just an one-star rating system - why not? 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

The bugtracer does have a nice search ;-)

Have a look at "QTWEBSITE-134":http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTWEBSITE-134

Thank you Volker! :) I thought that the lookup was easier to you since you stated that this was worked on.

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 :-)

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 :)
