i understand that for any given listing there can be two types of ratings: 1) visitor/guest rating, and 2) member rating.

a login shouldn't be necessary for the visitor rating, correct?

the problem i'm running into is my site is asking for a login whenever i click the link to rate as a visitor. if i do login, it accepts the rating and updates the database.

however if i go back and rate as a member (while logged in), it accepts that rating too, and it is clear that both ratings are for different databases (one is a visitor rating and the other is a member rating).

how can i make it so that a login is not necessary for a visitor rating? here is what i mean:

see how there are two ratings - one for visitor and one for member?

thank you in advance.. i'm a little stuck on this

You can change it in Setup > Review Options > user_review_required (set to 'no')

Hope that helps :)

under "setup > user options"

Andy,

When I go to setup > user options and select

Require users to signup before they can rate links? user_rate_required Yes No

I get an internal server error on the sumission.(actually it happens with all submissions from this page(setup))

Restore system defaults give the same error message

What plugins do you have installed?

Cheers

Andy,

I have 5 plugins:
Top_Weekly_Link.pm
Top_5_Links.pm
SearchLogger.pm
Expire_Links.pm
ContactPage.pm

I have now lost everything except for my static pages(internal server errors). I can't bring up my admin home page

If you can send over FTP details, I'll take a look for you (will also need admin panel login details, so I can go in and check that its working again). Its 3pm here, so I can't guarantee looking at it today :(

Cheers
