New review bar

[timg]

You'll notice all the reviews now have a gauge at the top that will let you see what other people on the site think of that review at a glance without having to scroll to the end of it.

Looks good! :D

Good idear there. What is this, value-added feature number 2,397?

[vonDrehle]

lol at the guy on Facebook that didn't know you could rate reviews.

[Fender088]

Love it already

[JR Stengele]

Great feature! Very pleasing on the eyes.

[sillybizz]

I just noticed it and found this thread, nicely done Tim I love this feature.

[DiscChainBasket18]

Stands out nicely, thank you!

[LakeBodom397]

Awesome, I like how it tells me if its gonna be a great review and I should read it, or if its gonna be an awful review and I should read it.

[Greg Layton]

I like it.

[JSurmann]

Pretty cool!

[Jukeshoe]

Useful? Kinda. Seems a bit redundant to me. :\

Easy on the eyes? Not so much. I think it looks kinda ugly actually, but I'll probably get used to it.

Still, props for always tinkering with ways to make the site better, timg! :)

I am not a fan of this feature. I understand it's intent and acknowledge it's creativity. But, it inadvertently highlights & emphasises achieving positive feedback while specifically pointing out and drawing attention to each and every 'unhelpful' review. I fear this may end up deterring would-be reviewers or prodding more 'copy/paste/paraphrase' reviews.

Thanks for the migraine and I still don't understand the "bar" system. I did notice the little icons near the title (car & clock) and wasn't sure which reviewer the icon referring to? It was fine the way it was imo.

[Jukeshoe]

Yep. Car and clock icons: golden.

New bars: eesh. :\

[medicinalfunk]

the funk abides

I muted the colors a bit to make it easier on the eye.

The icons are right next to the title of the review they're for. As for the bar, it shows the ratio of helpful to not helpful votes. Green being helpful, red being non.

If a lot of people aren't fans, I can just make it a selectable premium option or something.

It does look better now! :thmbup:

[Martin Dewgarita]

I think I dig it, give it a few days to sink in and I'll make up my mind for certain.

[Heathen]

Oh yeah, the more muted colors are MUCH better. The other was a bit loud.

Can't decide if I have any feeling one way or the other for it though.

Don't DISlike it .

[medicinalfunk]

just noticed the review bar is similar to a feature used on youtube vids for a visual representation of likes and dislikes

[solomon.trenton]

I never said it was an original idea ;)

that made a big improvement. :clap:

[mashnut]

I like it, it's a cool quick way to see what reviews to focus on when deciding on which courses to play.

[JMONEY]

The bar is much better and now. Thx Tim.

[jongoff09]

I knew there was something about it that I didn't like the first time I saw it, but now with the color change it looks really good :thmbup:

[humchris85]

I like it.

[JSurmann]

Umm, these disappeared for me. Anyone else?

[humchris85]

Nope, mines still there.

[JSurmann]

Now it's back. Wierd

[Iberian_55]

Nice one there Tim
