To answer all questions about "RateIt"You have confused me. What 'rate it' button?
If you have enough posts you can become a "Rater". You can then let the team know of interesting threads
All threads have a "Rate It" button, but it's only available to those regeistered as "Raters"
Every thread has a "RateIt" button. It's needed in OS especially, as we, above all boards on the Forum
have a thread in each and every weekly e-mail :T
Anyone want more info, I'll point you to the thread to sign up
