MaxsMom, I believe that the star rating is introduced once you reach 100 posts, so it should not take long for you to reach that level.

Your rating and your Star rating are totally seperate values. The rating number shown in brackets next to your username relates to the number of posts that you have made. The Star rating is assessed by the number of members that have awarded you a positive or negative rating and is intended to reflect the members' opinion of your posts. In many cases the Star rating is not a good indication because it is luck of the draw who sees your post and who rates it.

I hope that your star rating improves, but as I have said it is not that important. I have no idea how much activity is required to change the rating. My star rating has never moved in either direction since it was introduced, so I consider myself rather fortunate.

I think that it probably takes quite a while for your star rating to change. Your points are not the same thing as your star rating. Your star rating is based on how many people have given you the + or - rating on your discussions and responses.

It all goes on how people rate you. It changes by the day. If you receive a lot of negatives for the day, your rating will go down, where if you get a lot of positives, your rating will go up. Just keep posting very good quality and you should keep going up. I hope that this helps you!!
