If you're logged into the site and check out someone else's profile, you'll see your Commonality Rating at the top. I crunch some numbers to come up with it but it's pretty much just the % of courses you have in common with the that person.

justin (http://www.dgcoursereview.com/profile.php?id=81) mentioned the idea to me a while ago (thanks justin!) and I thought it sounded like a fun/cool thing to add.

i like the idea. it's not showing up too well right now though. have to refresh a few times to get it to show up then it disappears quick.

What browser are you using? I tried it out in IE and FF. There's nothing that should make it disappear.

Same thing here... IE needs a couple refreshes to get it. It flashes up briefly then disappears.

No issues in FF.

Which version of IE? I can try to fix it when I get home... maybe put it in a less fancy box or something :)

Looked in IE and I could see it but not in Firefox. But I have been having with Firefox lately.

Version 5.0.1

Are you logged in via FF? It won't show up if you're not logged in.

Isn't this somewhat a matter of perspective? Or maybe it should be a matter of perspective.

I've played 68 of my wife's 69 courses (99%).
She's played 68 of my 135 (50%).

The commonality for both of us shows as "50%".

Just showing a single 50% number doesn't tell you much without doing more digging on your own. I think it'd be more useful to have both numbers shown, e.g.

"timg has played 4% of ERicJ's courses -and- ERicJ has played 7% of timg's courses."

IE 6.0.2900.5512.xpsp_sp3_gdr.101209-1647CO (seriously)

The text is there but just not visible. You can see it if you highlight it via mouse drag. Seems like a weird drawing thing.

I combine total played courses of the two players into one number to determine the commonality. So in the example you mention, the total would be 136 with common courses being 68 = 50%

Unrelated but if you have a current year travel tag, it will also be listed in your profile now.

and timg calmly slips just one more thing to make dgcr more gooder (as if we wouldn't notice)
