    Question Rating threads?

    Does anybody take the time to do this anymore?
    I recently started doing it.
    Figure it's another version of a "Like" button.

    That look on your face, when you shift into 6th gear, but it's not there.

    I hate like buttons. I do not feel the need to belong.
    Stop being blinded by your own ignorance.

    Speaking of a rating threads or a like button.
    One of my cats goes crazy, like she's looking for a lost kitten, when she hears a certain version of "Taps"
    One of my favorite radio talkers does a segment "Medal of Honor Monday" where he reads about the actions of a Medal Recipient. Then at the end, if the recipient has passed, he plays Taps. My cat goes crazy...if she had a like button, I think she'd push it.

    This reminds me of the MSN home page of my browser. The different articles have thumbs up and down buttons.
    Every time they had an anti-gun article, they would get maybe a couple hundred thumbs up and about 5 thousand thumbs down.
    Now they turned off the thumbs down button, the like button still works.

    So, how do you rate a thread? I've read a lot of threads that I thought were worthwhile, but didn't have anything to add.

    Can't answer that but your "Custom Cast Boolits Google Search" works well. Thanks.

    Looks like I need to do some work on my signature. It worked when I put it there, but it has been a few years. Thanks for pointing it out.

    ? I stated it worked well. Now it's gone? I did save the link but others should find it useful also unless you don't want people using it?

    It didn't work for me when I clicked on it. I deleted it from my signature until I could figure out what was wrong. Feel free to add it to your signature if you wish.

    -edit- And now that I deleted it, I can't remember the syntax I used to create it. I should have backed up a copy before deleting.

    Never realized that was there before. Wilco sir, well done.
    Clicking on it brings up a choice of 1 - 5 stars, select, and click vote at the bottom.

    done and done.
    I truly believe we need to get back to basics.

    Get right with the Lord.
    Get back to the land.
    Get back to thinking like our forefathers thought.


    May the Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord make His face to shine upon you and be gracious unto you
    and give you His peace. Let all of the earth – all of His creation – worship and praise His name! Make His
    praise glorious!

    Upper right hand corner, above the first post of every thread.

    It has never crossed my mind on this forum, thanks to the consistently high quality of posters and stricter moderation.

    I often rate threads on a different gun forum, mostly because they have a troll problem.
