Like I said.. On the storys page, on the right hand side on the same line as the title there are (usally) some stars and a number, just what do they mean??   I looked around but couldn't find the answer. (really, I did)

At the bottom of your chapters there is an option to rate your story - Worth Paying For, Needs Work, etc. Five Stars is Worth Paying For and Needs a Few Tweaks is a one. The number beside the stars is how many people have actually rated it. Like four stars with a (3) beside it means three people have rated it for an average of four stars. If you hold your cursor over the actual stars it shows the real average - like 3.95 or whatever. Help?

Thanks, yes, I had been wondering about that.

If it makes you feel any better, I actually didn't fully understand the ratings thing until I lurked here, and I've been a member for months now. Thanks for sticking your neck out.

But you should note that no one really uses the ratings system... leave a review and offer positive or negative (helpful) feedback. It means much more to an author.
(But I've been there before, haven't I?)

 to that sentiment.
Ottis, if it makes you feel better, I've been here over a year I think, and I only worked out how to figure the star averages a couple of months ago.
