Thread Ratings Back?
Anyone else notice that a option to Rate Threads is one again appearing in the menu bar at the top a thread? I've used it to rate a few threads, but the results don't appear anywhere.
Is this the first step to getting Thread Ratings back, or is there a glitch in the system? FWIW I've checked in both IE7 and FireFox and it's showing.

Are they planning to reactivate the ratings? I used to rate threads now and again until I discovered that it doesn't mean anything!

As Mary2e states, I think the check boxes are still visible but the ratings are disabled.
Long story as to why that's the case and you probably don't want to hear it.

It's been 8 years. The thread rating buttons are still there.
From looking at old threads, it appears the buttons have been added/removed multiple times.
Currently, they are there. Are they doing anything now, or are they still not hooked up?
If they aren't useful, why can't they be removed? Or at least have some clear indication somewhere that they're useless?

"Rate Thread" has appeared at the top of threads for as long as I can remember. I've never noticed it coming and going, but that might have happened before my time on FT.

That's another one-million-dollar question for IB. But I would guess if this ever made it, it would be at the very very bottom of the IB to-do list.
