This was against the Tree That Shall Not Be Named for fear of stirring it up
again, at the time I think it was about 180 or so, and i had rated maybe 30 or
them. I went through and rated every single post. In some cases I changed
existing ratings, in some cases added new
Then I pressed the refresh the ratings button. None of my changes took. When
the page redisplayed (it took a while to render even over the fast network conn
I was on) everything was as it had been. No error message. So I went and found
another large tree (debate has enough of them) and tried it there too... in
that case I had never rated anything. That didn't take either.
Now, it is possible my browser is drain bamaged or that there's pilot error
here, I'm a bit more tired than normal, right now we're pulling 80-90 hour
weeks trying to get ready for the show.
I'm running NS comm 4.7 on NT 4, service pack 6, on an IBM 600X pentium III
with 192M of real mem.

I could swear it was all of them, as if the value pairs never got submitted
rather than the server side (or the pair gatherer that processes the forms
inside of the rendering engine on the client side) choking out processing them.
