One of the aspects of vB is the ability to rate threads on a scale of 1 to 5 stars. To do this go to the top right above the first post below the user bar and select "rate this thread" Rate based on how well it was written and formatted as well as how informative and correct it is. This will give an at a glance way of seeing which threads would be good to read if you don't have time. A side not please don't rate everything as 5 or 1. there is a middle ground you know. Great posts deserve a 5 good posts only deserve a 3 or 4 Also a request/suggestion for the mods: consider giving rewards for high rated threads [C'mon at least acknowledge you have read this]
