Rated but no ratings

[margatt]

<p>Recently I've gone through a few of my photo collections and havce noticed that some images have been rated many times but no rating number is given. Looking at the "top rated photos" and using the detail drop down stats, I notice the same thing... rated but no ratings. Has this happened to anyone else? </p>

<p>I just checked the photo search results.</p>

<p>It appears that the average "Rating" only appears if the rating count is five or more.</p>

<p>Hi Martin............. Leigh is quite correct. I've just looked at one of your latest submissions that now has 6 ratings with a shown figure out of 7.<br>

<p>Define "many". :-)</p>

<p>As others have already noted, the average rating score on a photo is only displayed after at least 5 ratings have been received. Thereafter the rating average displayed is only updated when additional groups of scores are received. This is by design to soothe the fragile egos of people who obsess and get worked up into a frenzy over a single solitary "low" rating.</p>
