This time, even though I'm really drunk, I actually went back through 10 pages of this forum to see if someone had asked this question. And I didn't find anything. So here is me.

Dear Brad,
Would it be possible to show the rating on each strip when you're looking at your own or other people's comics? I enjoy seeing my comics in the Top Rated list. It tells me the rating and how many votes it has, which is cool. But then, I look through my comics and see some of my absolute favorites and I wonder... Is this in that list? I dunno, because there's about 800 comics in the Top Rated list. I'd just really like to look at my comics and be able to tell what people get and what people don't. I think it might help people's comedy or style to be able to look at a comic that they think is funny and see how high it's rated and how many people rated it. Also, it would be cool to let people give comments to comics, and have the page just show like the latest 5 comments or so. And only allow each user to comment on each comic once. To defeat spamism. I'm drunk. I got drunker while I wrote this. I love everyone.

That sounds like a good idea. A great idea? Lets go get drunk at a bar. VAMOOS

It would probably be easier to tell which comics people liked if you didn't give them all the same name. Although that's what adds to their charm.

I've been thinking about adding this, I'm just not quite sure where to put the scores.

is there any way to add a little asterick or something to the top rated paged to tell you whether or not you've already rated a comic so you don't have to click on it to see?

Maybe add it right between the comic chooser box thingy and favorites... "This comic has been rated ** by ** people." or something. Or "This comic has been rated ** by ** people and also Squidrabies rules." I like that one better.

If you mouseover your comic titles you can see ratings if there are more than 3 votes. It's not that convenient, but it at least gives you access to the data.

Making it real obvious is a possibility but then I wonder if everyone will become score-mongers. Or people will feel bad when they're flipping through their comics, etc.

Good work on the ratings! Now I can live with myself and be happy.

thats perfect. i didn't really want ratings on comics since some of the best comics are rated badly or not rated at all (take a look at anything by redbrute). but this is great because its not obtrusive. +3UP for Brad

hey, that's an even better idea! Brad, I think you're a very special person. You and Steve Guttenberg. Both of you, incredibly special.
