P.H. O'Meter Reveals Your Ratings

New functionality - see how fellow PHers are voting

---

Rate your favourites with P.H.O'Meter

Secret ballots are all very well, but they're not much good if you feel the need to comment on your fellow PHers good taste and judgement!

But help is at hand from our very own P.H.O'Meter, newly upgraded to instantly dish the dirt on your forum friends' voting habits, while also exposing your own automotive weaknesses to public scrutiny.

That's right, every vote counted by the recently introduced P.H.O'Meter has been recorded for posterity, and along with all future votes will be available for public scrutiny on every voters' PH profile page. (Don't say we didn't warn you!)

The best of the bunch - so far...

So use those votes wisely, friends, or you may have some explaining to do. Because as the vasectomy doctor said, once you've made your mind up - there's no going back.

Is there any point to all this? Well we're not sure really, but we thought it might be fun...

(In case you're wondering, the top P.H.O'Meter rating so far is an honour accorded by PHers to the Lambo Murcielago LP670-4 SV while the lowest-rated is Mitsubishi's i MiEV electric plodmobile. Well done both!)

And now try it out for yourself below! (Be gentle to us...)

Story now rateable...

And you can find voting history in a PHer's profile... in the P.H O-Meter tab

The tab seems to be labelled P.H. O'Meter.

Is it Irish?

Seems that bloke has no idea what to vote for......

[Kevin VRs]

Every time I have used it the meter has recorded 1 higher than I voted, so if I voted 10 it would show 11. Very strange! Any ideas Garlick?

I know that happened occasionally, but it shouldn't happen every time. I'll ask Racing Pete to have a look at that for you.

It seems I'm automatically voting 5 for everything and I can't see anyone's tab except Garlick's.... or am I just not using it right

ETA - I can now see other people's tab, but I still can't vote

April 1st has come early this year!

I think I just voted by looking at the thread - I did sweet FA else and round went the needle.

You've obviously got RacingPete's Beta test version - it uses the power of the mind!

I like that it went to 11

[The Wookie]

Seems to work OK now, but still...



And damn you for making me post one of those cliche black bordered titled images

[Poledriver]

OK, so assuming it isn't a wind-up, where do you see this to vote and where do you see your scores?

You seem to have voted 5 for four of the stories already... I think your system must have something setup to stop it working - what browser, system or add-ons have you got?

I'm using google chrome. Is there anything that our Firewall may not like?

And it's just the same IE8
