Thanks Lorelle =)

I have added 2 minor features to WP-PostRatings and WP-Polls. It is the ability to choose whether to show the loading image with text and the fading in and out of the poll/rating.

Some of you may not like the loading image with text, and now your wish came true, you can choose not to display it under the respective options menu.

For those CSS validating freaks, the opacity CSS value for wp-polls and wp-postratings will not pass CSS validation at W3. Now all you have to do is remove those lines in the respective css file and choose “No” for “Show Fading In And Fading Out Of Polls/Ratings”

One last thing before I end, as you all may know, if polls or ratings is embedded within the post, when viewing feed for the post, the post content might appear unsightly, so now let me gather your feedback to this issue with a poll.

I have finally took the time to create this little feature that enables you to sort posts by most viewed, most rated and highest rated.

It will only works if you are using nice permalinks. Feedback are welcomed =)

I intend to release WP-PostRatings 1.05, WP-Polls 2.13, WP-Stats 2.06, WP-UserOnline 2.06, WP-Ban 1.00 on 2nd January 2006 if everything goes smoothly.

Sorry guys but WP-Downloads is still in the works, I need to think and plan on how to integrate it.

UPDATE: I have re-uploaded the file due to wrong file name (should be 105 and not 103) and fixes an important bug.

UPDATE: Download WP-PostRatings 1.10

It has come to my knowledge that wp-polls and wp-postratings does not work with Opera. After much research, I found out that Opera does not support alpha/opacity.

Just overwrite the old .js file with the new .js file as attached in the forum post listed above.

The targeted launch for WP-Polls 2.1 and WP-PostRatings 1.02 is 1st June 2006, as you can see now both will feature the fade in and fade out effect and the loading icon.

WP-Polls 2.1 will also feature a new option where you can choose to log by cookie, ip, both or none at all. I have updated the poll to log by cookie and ip, so now you can only vote once.

I have added in some fade in and out effect when you rate the post =D

EDIT: Okie, Scape that shit javascript posting. I have AJAX this plugin. =)

EDIT2: I have commented off the logging of ip and cookie, for testing purpose.
