I signed into mylot today and to my surprise my star turned
yellow with an 8! I was so happy. But I have been posting
comments all day and there is something missing that all
myloters seem to have next to their comments on the right
side. It is those plus and minus signs. I don't have them.
I seem to be the only one without them. Does anyone know
why. I have no ratings in my comments but I rate other people,
I choose best responses. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
Can someone please tell me or should I ask mylot?

hi opal 26 thats probably just a fluke as you have done
nothing wrong but they do have glitches every once in
'awhile here in mylot. well come to think of it you cannot
rate your own comments so thats why you dee no plus and minus there.other people can rate us but we cannot rate ourselves.Does that make sense?

No, you're fine! We can't see the buttons next to our own posts because we aren't allowed to rate ourselves. Everybody else can see the buttons next to your posts and I'm sure you are getting many positives! Good Job getting the yellow 8!

Hi Opal sinece the latest update to go to them I have to move the slide bar along so I can see what is on the right hand side, if this is the reason great just do that but if not I really don't know waht to suggest this does seem very unusal if you haven't got them. Ellie :D

I was on my way here Opal to tell you what I see others have already done; when I had to wait because a caped crusader had tripped on his cape and was making a right mess of sorting himself out. I was going to help him but he wanted to do it his own way. Anyway, I smelled smoke coming from somewhere in South America and by the time I got down there and discovered that it was smoke but no fire and got back again, on the last bus of the day mind. He'd gone. But I see he got in a few minutes ago. So I'll say "Hello" too.

Oh p1ke can you spin a tale lol-This one was almost as good
as last nights! I'm glad you tried to help the caped one.
That was so kind of you. Thank you for coming to my aid too!
Now you can rest from your latest mission and see what else
you can dream up for this evening...

Another user can see the ratings system next to your posts but you cannot see it yourself. This is the way it should be as we should not be able to rate ourselves.
You're doing everything just right and this should be the way it is..
Happy myLotting!

Can you see them when you read other people's discussions? If not, then ask mylot.com! You will not see them on discussions you start yourself...that is only for others to rate your discussions. You should be able to see them on all other discussions though. Hope this helps and have a wonderful day!

Hello Opal26,
[i]There is nothing wrong with your account. Mylot don't want us to rate ourselves so we don't have those plus and minus rating besides our username. Other users can see the plus and minus signs in our name. I actually give you a plus rating on all your comments here and those who post to your discussion. I think it just fair we don't rate ourselves. Other users should rate us not the other way around.
Do have a good day and keep on posting. [/i]![](/Content/images/emotes/cool.gif)

Well I see your star has now turned red and has a nine AND you got the case of the missing plus and minus signs sorted out. A successful day by any count I would think.
Didn't take long to get a good number of responses either. Funny what will bring bloggers out of the woodwork.
Blessings

Hi moinuddin,
No one is as shocked and surprised as me! I was surprised that
I turned yellow yesterday so when I turned red this morning
I was really amazed. I got some best responses which I am
so grateful for. I have made some unbelievable friends here
at mylot. Just rate people honestly, I know that's what I do!

Hello Opal26. Today is my second day with mylot and I was wondering if you could explain the stars to me. I saw you mention yours was yellow with an 8, now red with a 9 so I am pretty sure you will be able to explain it to me. Thank you for taking the time. I am sure it can be a pain going over the basics with the newbe. Please know I do greatly appreciate any informatin you can give me on this subject. Sorry I can't help you with your own problem but like I said I am green to this site.

Hi cmathias and welcome to mylot! This is my second week here!
You are the first person to ask me for help! I can hear my
friends laughing! I have been asking them for help and I'm
sure they're tired of coming to my aid by now! I will friend
you and you can private message me so I can explain what I
think I know about stars.
