So at the moment, the displayed 'star rating' in the forum includes an average of all of the rated posts within a thread.
I would like to either:
a. Display the rating for the threadstarter post only
b. If this is not possible, to remove the ratings from all posts except the main threadstarter post.
Any help is appreciated,
thank you

which average? on forum view (list of topics) or topic view (list of posts)?
not sure what you mean either by rating for the threadstarter??? the rating is on a post, not a user... are you trying to say you only want to show the rating on the first post in a topic????

Yes correct. I want to disable the ratings for all other posts within the thread. I want to leave the rating just for the very first post. That is one option.
Alternatively, another option, is to simply display the rating for the first post. Here is an image to illustrate what i mean
See the star ratings? That rating represents an average score of ALL of the posts within the thread. NOT just the very first post. Essentially, people are rating eachother's comments within each thread, then it takes all of the ratings from the entire thread, and creates a new total average rating. That new total average rating is displayed in the forum. I would like for the rating that is displayed to be the one that is for the first post only.

bump???? after a few hours? come on now... that wont get you an answer any faster...
to do this, you will have to user our api and filter template function and if its not the first post in a topic, just exit...
the picture you give however, is forum view and not topic view... if you do the first part on topic view, that forum view will take care of itself...
are you able to handle adding a bit of code?

Sorry! I just noticed that you seem to everyone's issues in big swooping waves, and I thought you missed mine. Sorry again, i dont mean to be annoying.
I do not know how to do either one of your solutions.
I can add code if you tell me exactly where to put it and what to put.. can you help?

This should help you do what you want... Only allows the first post in a topic to be rated... and thus the averages will only be for the first post...
however, it wont (and cannot) go back and take care of already cast votes... so you may want to consider starting the ratings over... if so, just go to forum - options - display settings and switch the rating style to the other and back... that will reset all rating data...
add_filter('sph_PostIndexRatePost', 'my_rating_check');
function my_rating_check($out) {
global $spThisPost;
if ($spThisPost->post_index != 1) $out = '';
return $out;
}this code would go in the spFunctions.php file of your sp theme...
