I was thinking that the submit ratings
button on a thread display page could be used to submit ratings for multiple
messages within that thread.

It can be used for that, yes, but it expects you to mark your selections on
the same HTML page as the button you click.  For example, you could view the
following 17-message thread these two different ways:

Okay, my problem is not me and it is not a browser problem (Netscape v4.51).
The problem is that I have been using (for months) the nested/compact thread
display.  I guess to make this Submit All rating feature work, I need to switch
to the nested/all or the linear/all thread display.  These thread displays both
have the radio buttons on a single .cgi page whereas the compact thread display
options do not.  And, additionally, reading posts is easier, too.

I now understand correctly (versus understanding incorrectly as before).  Thank
you Todd and Larry.

Now, I have a new question.
Using the nested/all and/or linear/all thread displays, how can I easily mark
all messages as read?  How can I mark just certain messages as read?  More
specifically, how to do this without leaving this thread display?
Do articles become marked as read when I rate them and submit the rating?
