two ways I can think of achieving that... one is to have a small window
generated when you click on "Submit Rating" - put a TARGET in the form,
and let it just tell you that "Your rating has been accepted, the rating
for this message is now 63". You don't have to wait for the new page to
load, you can go on reading in your main browser window. Popup windows
should definitely be an option in the user profile though - I know a lot
of people who would NOT like it.
Option two, have the next/prev buttons be submit buttons as well - that
way, you rate, you click on NEXT, and it'll FIRST take you to the next
page, then (after closing STDOUT) update the rating.

I believe NN doesn't behave like that, it remembers the form's
settings... hmmm. Not sure how to work around it. Middle click links
instead of left click them?
