While one can always, when walking through posts via the web interface, mouse up to the location box and increment/decrement the posting number by one, has there been any consideration to putting a next and prev button or link in a convenient and (...)

(...) Looking at the ratings for your post, it's got a 100 and a 0, maybe it isn't worth 100, but is it really worth a 0? Or is the person rating it a 0 trying to influence the overall rating rather than give their true opinion? Maybe it doesn't (...) (25 years ago, 30-Mar-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) what if instead of seeing a number as the rating (which we can all read and react to) we'll see it as a color - anywhere from #00FF00 for 100 to #FF0000 for 0 - it won't be obvious what the exact rating was (and it doesn't really matter what (...)

(...) In a way, it's kinda like that now, at least in the sense that the amount of color gets progressively stronger as more and more people give input. Thus, something rated by no one is pure gray, and something rated by only one or two people is (...) (25 years ago, 31-Mar-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) it's different because when you see a number, I think you're more likely to think "nonono, this post should be a 70, not a 30" - when you see a color, it's a less obvious thought.... and another question (just curious really) - since most (...)

(...) You mean in the rating colors? It's actually a smooth scale from 00 to FF -- but since the ratings often come out to 0, 20, 40, 60, 80 and 100, these map fortuitously to 00, 33, 66, 99, CC, and FF (the 6x6x6 safe palette).
