I don't always have a lot of time to be on the computer, so when I do I try to answer as many discussions as I can. For a long time I had notifications off for all friends just because there were so many discussions coming in that I couldn't answer all. I would go to myLot the site, click on discussions my friends started and answer from there. Then I changed my "strategy" I went trough all my friends and turned notification on for the ones that I know I always enjoy responding their discussions. This way I was able to shorten the list quite a bit. I still go to the site and find discussions from my other friends to answer, but I also respond from my email to the ones I get the notifications. Now the thing is, I always like to rate the discussions I respond to - often also the responses but that's another thing -. I like to,in a small way, reward the posters for their great discussions. But when answering from my mail I don't have a chance to do so. If I want to rate the discussions I have to post my answer first, then go and rate it from the site. Sometimes I forget. When I answer a discussion from my mail I am able to use myLot code and add a picture, but I am not able to rate it. I think that one upgrade that I would like to see happening soon is being able to rate the discussion even when I'm answering from my mail. That way I could do it first thing even before answering. If myLot gives us the option to answer from our mail, I think it would be nice to be able to rate the discussions as well. Are there any more myLotters that would like this feature or is it only me?

I think rating discussions is sometimes 'over rated'. Yes it is nice to do it occasionally, if I come across a really good discussion, or on the odd occasion a really bad one that gets a negative rating. However, I don't rate the bad ones very often, because those are the ones that inevitably get delated by management anyhow. But I think I read somewhere, that if you rate constantly, your ratings don't in fact mean much or aren't considered trustworthy. So I slowed down my ratings and reserve them now for topics of discussion that truly stand out, in my opinion. So I guess my answer is 'no' I don't really care if we have an option to rate from email. For the topics, responses and discussions that are worthy of a rating, I don't mind to go directly to them, same as to vote on a best response.

I don't rate bad discussions either. AS you say those are usually taken care of by mylot. But I do like to rate good discussions, and would love to be able to do it from my mail when I'm responding. Specially lately I really have very little time to come here, so every minute counts :)

Hi Twin, yes I agree as sometimes I have to be honest I forget as well and then I have to go back to it and rate it so it would be great if we could Rate from responding and I hope that we might get that feature one Day Big Hugs to you
