The stars are an average of member ratings for each topic.

Members can now rate each topic between 1 and 6 stars, with 6 being the highest.

When you are in a thread, Stan, at the top of the page will be its' star rating. You just click on the star that you would rate the topic at. So, if you think it is awful click the first left hand star (to give it your rating of 1 star) and if you think it is brilliant click on the right hand star & so give it a 6 star rating - the highest. The system then calculates the average rating given to the topic & shows that.
Incidentally, if you move your mouse over the star rating on something like the 'view new posts' lists then it will also tell you how many members have actually contributed to give it the rating it has.

This looks like it will be a nice toy for the bouncing elephant man to enjoy.

So what happened to the Karma ratings - did you bin it as a bad idea? I quite liked it myself.

It was scrapped because it slowed the forum down.

Very much so; in my case I found that, for the short time it was operating, page loading was similar to being back on dial-up (rather than the speed of being on broadband).
