Hiya everyone, We are creating a voteing/rateing script for BestWebHosters.com (a webhosting index) which will be opened in the next few days, Its filled with loads of features for the visitor and the webhost but it just wouldnt be complete with this. So far we have come up with these points which the client will rate on a scale of 1 to 5 (5 being the best) Support knowledge Support Time support behaviour Overall Support Features Uptime Value for money We are also thinking of letting the client leave a small comment...upto 100 chars Voteing will be allowed only to clients who register and confirm their email addresses, plus only 1 vote per IP and we will be using cookies + other security features...to keep things fair. Any suggestions there too will be appreciated. Now our question is: Would you like any other features/points to be voted on or taken off from the above list? And you thought your opinion does not matter :-D Cheers, -Ryan A. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
