There is a button for awarding No Stars. Why,? What is the point of that if the default is No Stars anyway.

Is it a web designers joke?

I'm would guess this has been asked before, but I don't recall seeing it or know the answer.

lol i always wondered that n never dared to ask

so i dunno, sorry lol
I think the obvious answer to that is there is no point......unless it was to post 'You won't be getting any stars for that rubbish' under the answer. In that case I reckon it would get used a lot!
have you tried it to see what it does?

yeah it would be funny if it did as Aprilis says lol

ta for my 3 xxx
Use it on my answer and see what happens Gromit. It'll probably be a big fat nothing.

You know when you go in a shop and can't find what you are looking for, and then as soon as you ask you see it under your nose. Well, that has just happened. I have wondered about the no stars option for ages, and then now I have asked, I have realsed what it is for.

It is to recind stars. weeal, your stars have gone.

Still fairly useless though.
Well I never knew you could retract stars! As I am not an Indian giver I shan't be making use of it though.
That's right. It's in case you change your mind about giving someone stars, you can click on that and take them away again.
pmsl
what a palaver eh, hey can I have my 3 stars back as Ive been good today and Im not well ye know, full o the cold and got a wee red nose now
Weeal, I am unwell too with a throat and chest infection. To cheer us up I am taking the liberty of awarding us both *** lol!

Ha! Gromit can't take them away, so nerr!

lol Aprilis, heres yours *** not removable by gromit!
hope your infection clears up soon too, its depressing innit

squarebear *** dont feel left out
Oh yeah, sorry squarebear!

Weeal, I'm going on holiday on Saturday so it blinkin' better clear up fast. In fact I am supposed to be packing right now instead of frolicking about on AB!
Perhaps it is so that authors who inadvertently award themselves stars (it does happen) can remove them before the cries of "Megalomania" descend upon them.
ha haha, its addictive, im supposed to be ironing but the steam will make my nose run even faster

Where are you off to Aprilis?
I am goin on hol in Nov so got 2 weeks or so yet to pack and get over my gold
GROMIT, thank you kindly


(bet gromit waits till I post this then takes them away again, cos the no star button is their new toy)

Thanks kempie

Why is there an option to rate your own answer?

Hope the answer isn't obvious again
Oh nowhere exotic weeal, just narrowboating on the canals around the Midlands. Then a week and a half after we get back I'm taking my daughter to EuroDisney for a long weekend.

Let's hope for some good weather!

Gromit, thank you for the stars. Here's some for you! ***
Oh I see you've given yourself some already, lol!

Aprilis

Did that in may, a week out from Market Harborough. Very nice and relaxing.

What a good answer this is, award yourself some stars Gromit

: - )
tee hee, this thread is positively twinkling now wi stars

have a brill holiday aprilis if i dont get chance before sat to say so, and i hope youre feelin better
I've done it before, many years ago Gromit. I really enjoyed it because, as you say, it was very relaxing. It's the best thing for a really chilled out break in my opinion. I wasn't sure about the Midlands though, but have heard it's just as good. I don't know how far we will get as we're only going for a week and we're starting near Worcester. I don't really care where we end up, I just want a break.
