[color="indigo"]Actually, numeric keypad (text) voting is very convenient if it's not abused by the speed voters. This method of voting does not encourage leaving comments, but not many do that anyway.

Text voting is easier for those members/users who are not very good with mouse clicks and placement. Seriously, for anyone with a handicap that limits range of motion, text voting is a feature that allows accessibility.

Pattern voters are now flagged by the system algorithms, so speed voting with one key is hazardous to one's account status.

I like to have options. I'd hate to narrow down the ways to vote[/color].[/quote]

Good points, I wasn't thinking of anything other than 'speedsters'!

[color="purple"]Thanks Richard, I wasn't aware that this could be done. I personally think we should only be able to use quick or normal voting and do away with the text voting[/color].

Geeesh, that doesn't sound very responsible does it?

Integers only. With text voting, you enter an integer in the box. Then, press return to register your vote. Depending on your numeric pad skills, you can do this without taking your eyes off the monitor. It's the fastest way to vote. (the preferred method of speed voters.)

I get that but is it correct that you can NOT give half numbers at this time? I thought maybe you could by text voting.

[color="purple"]It is related to vote score. The numbers are whole numbers, some members have been asking for halves as well eg. 7.5 instead of a 7 or 8. Hope this helps[/color].

I wondered the same thing. I decided it is just an option to type in the number instead of cleck it with the mouse... I guess. :)

What exactly is this? I've read some posts about not being able to give half nubers. Is this related at all or does it just mean to use the number pad on your keyboard?
