Legacy A way to tell if you personally have rated a game already

[Trekkan]

When looking at the ratings, I can't tell if I've rated a game already if there are already ratings on it. So it's a little difficult to go through and make sure I've rated any games I'd like to rate.

So, I'd like a way to be able to tell if I've already submitted my rating (BTW, it looks like you can change your rating, and I *LIKE* that, opinions change).

One suggestion would be to change the color of the rating stars if you've rated the game already.

vb only comes with that set of stars.

for games youve already voted on, would you rather see your current vote or the average? sorting is really only possible with the global average though.

Here ya go, I quickly edited the vB ones to give an alternate color, in this case green. Each new image has an _g at the end of the filename. Also, I had to rename it .zip to upload it, but it's really a .rar file.

The average is probably better anyway.

I want to avoid adding similar style images as much as possible, as it would conflict with custom styles. i could get away with the heart and trophy icon because they arent similar to anything, but not the case with the stars.

i was thinking something label-wise instead

Maybe something like would show the text My Rating, and show how many stars you choose

What about having it show your rating, then number, then Avg: number

So something like

Your Rating: **** 4/5 Avg: ***** 5/5

Yes that would work too.

I dont want to add more than one line of text and one line of stars for this, or it would clutter up the already-carefully-packed game panels. plus that matches the line of "favorites" it is across from.

how about...

if you have not rated,
number of stars = average:

Ratings: X Avg: X.YZ
Rate: * * * * *

as you are hovering
number of stars = hover:

Ratings: X Label: X
Mine: * * * * *

after you have rated
number of stars = yours:

Ratings: X Avg: X.YZ
Mine: * * * * *

So now, if you have rated, it would say the word Mine and show the number of stars you rated. Subtle, but effective, in my opinion.

 

[Darkwaltz4]

Implemented the label to say Mine instead of Rate after rating

good deal, I think that will look better in the front end to the users.
