ioncurr3nt

The 'about' page is a great idea. The site's 'body' has a width 1200 pixels. I'll rezise that. Thanks for the input. Alan (webmaster@ioncurr3nt.com)

Thanks for the response and links to the articles. Votes are based on a timestamp, so a vote 1 minute ago has 120 seconds (or in this case, points) less than a vote of the same rating one minute from now. It's a rating scale of 1 to 5, and instead of multiplying an entire timestamp amount by 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5- which would make it almost impossible for articles to be ranked dynamically, if not fairly, each rating is separated by 12 hours (or 43200 seconds), so a 'four star rating' 2 hours ago equals a 'three star rating' 60 minutes ago, which is equal a 'two star rating' right now. I chose not to add negative votes, similarly to hacker news where there is only one upvote option. If a user doesn't like something, he can simply skip it and move on to another article or link he or she likes. It cuts down on trolls who downvote everything with a "Ron Paul" topic, for example.

I appreciate the feedback about the appearance or lack thereof of rating features. I'll look into it.

Hello: Thanks for your comments.

I'll work on the congested look of it. To differentiate ioncurr3nt from the cream of the crop, there's dynamic top tags listed on every single page, and they reflect the categories, tags, etc Maybe I'll emphasize the tags, almost like a six degree of separation- style game, to see where the tags will lead the user... Another thing is located in the author page. It lists the last 10 upvoted, downvoted, submitted, and FAVORITE articles. I'll emphazise that as well.
