This feature allows you to rate document files, audio files, video files, blog articles, forum discussion articles, photos and any file you've uploaded. This is done by a visual representation of stars. From one star to five stars indicating lowest to highest rating respectively. Just hover the cursor over the stars and click your mouse over your chosen rating.

There are two parts to ratings, the average rating and the user rating of the file.
The user rating is your own custom rating. You're allowed a single rating which you can change at any time. Even if you decide to change your rating, it will still count as 1 rating and won't be added to the overall number of ratings of that file.
The average rating is the average of all the ratings that have been submitted by members.
