So I had a few days to play with the plug-ins and they all work beautifully, the process of retrieving information from the databases is seamless.
However, based on my forum user's feedback, there are some features that I would love to see:
— Ability to give half-star ratings (most rating websites do a scale of 1-10 or 1-5 with half decimals)
— A link / tab in the thread to show all ratings by users
— An option to require users to leave a review when rating something (also show their rating in the post)
I think adding these features would make the plug-in above and beyond, and essential for any forums who want to have a rating system. I understand though if it might be too custom of an ask, but if that is the case, please let me know if you are willing to work something out on adding those functionalities to my forum.
