You can't edit the images/attachments, though?

Click the "go advanced" button and from there the "manage attachments" button is with all the other clutter options below the text editor box.

Aha, sorry! Another thing I missed by just glancing over things.

Thanks, Dave. Will let you know if anything else comes to my attention.

New blog post should be going up soon.

I'm back!

I'm just wondering about the ratings of blog posts. It seems there is no display of the rating of a post on the summary ("Recent Blog Posts" page) or on the actual blog post itself. Is there no way to display stars symbolizing the rating or something?

It may also encourage people to rate blog posts, rather than the easily-missed "Rate this Entry" text in the top right hand corner. Without proper ratings, the "Most Popular" and "Best Blog" features seem to be redundant. Either a better rating system or basing those features partially on number of comments could be potential solutions.

Not sure if any of that is possible on vBulletin, though?

There is a rating system in place (top right hand of a blog entry). I've just tuned down the number of ratings required to show a result, but I expect there'll be some CRON job that has to run before that takes effect, so let's see what happens in the next 24 hours.

Of course, if no-one has been voting, not much is going to happen
