Have you ever rated someone down when you meant to rate them up?

iakulchen @iakulchen (615) • Singapore 6 Mar 09

Well, the MyLot "rate up" and "rate down" buttons are just next to each other. I sometimes forget which is which and have to doublecheck to see if I'm clicking the correct one. So far, I have yet to rate a discussion something...

I have had two referrals to MyLot during this week alone. Now I haven't posted my referral link anywhere except my blog, and it doesn't have a particularly high page rank, so I don't think it was through a search...

Posting links in discussions

iakulchen @iakulchen (615) • Singapore 1 Sep 08
