I posted this on InfoPop's board but did not receive a response. Wouldn't seem like it would be that difficult to explain but maybe it is...

Can someone please provide me with a concise explanation as to how exactly how a member's rating is caluclated by the software? (UBB 6.04e)

I know the software is using a weighted average but how does the weighting work?

Also is there a way to not "calculate" a members rating until after that member receives mininum number of votes or does that require a hack? Eg. New user comes in and receives one five star vote---and immediately that person is five star rated. If all the votes a person receives subsequent I'm assuming that person's rating will ultimately go down. Correct?

I wish to know the "how and when" so I can explain it to my members....

Well someone must know don't you think? Where would you suggest I search for an answer??

Didn't get a response? Ted himself responded to your question! How can you say that you didn't get a response?
