I have been searching and searching and at my wits end.  Is there anything that will give Simple Press a way for regular members to rank other members – like karma or itrader… this is a buy, sell trade subscription forum and we must have a way to rank members according to whether they have a good reputation with other buyers and sellers.  Not interested in achievements or rewards, only need a simple rank to show in their profile info.

no, we currently have a plugin for karma type rating on our to do list, but no ETA…  we have had a couple such requests, so its bubbling up the list a bit… we tend to work on most requested stuff first…

we have multiple things that have some similarity (post rating, mycred, etc), but none are direct user rating of other users…

You can add me to the list of people that would like to see this plugin!smile

On my current forum it is a feature that is used religiously by almost all of my posters. It’s a great way to give members that might not reply a way of still giving their opinion on any post.

I’ve been looking at the plugins list and I think I might go with the rating system instead of using karma.

I am having some difficulty getting it going though…

I followed the instructions but there is no option for rating the post.

so you have read:  https://simple-press.com/documentation/codex/plugins/our-plugins/available-plugins/post-rating/

and then followed it and enabled post ratings on the forum(s) where you want to have ratings?

I followed the ones in the pop-up window and missed a step that was included in the link you provided.

Thanks again!
