For some reason, after updating the settings via my outbrain dashboard, the Rating/Stars disappeared again on the blogs listed.
Thanks again.

Inappropriate?Hi no problem ^_^ Glad to be of help in early detection :p
Btw, on the other blog I manage (corporate), http://highstreet5community.blogspot.... the rating shows up on a non-topic area (scroll down below) just after the "Older Posts" link. Doesn't happen on my personal blogs.
I’m thankful
-
All fixed now :) -
Inappropriate?THanks as always :D
Now I really don't understand how you do the detection and placing... everything is on your end :p Seems my ideas on how your placement works are all wrong :p
It seems magic ^_^ haha
I’m excited

We do both :o) -

Inappropriate?Problem with it here, too. http://tatasmagik.blogspot.com or http://www.imnotbeautifullikeyou.com. It's a custom template - could that be why? Also, does the widget show up only on post pages or on the main page, too?

Hi emicutzu,
There are some issues with the way your template is built that makes it difficult to integrate the rater. We worked on it and put it in the only place we were able to. Check it out - if this works for you great - if not we have a couple of more options so send me an email - kate [at] outbrain [dot] com and we'll discuss.
Thanks!

Hi there,
We customized the widget for you site so that it can recognize the correct part of the post and now it appears. Let me know if there is anything else we can do to help. Thanks! Kate -

Best support i've ever had

Inappropriate?Hi, I have the same problem on this blog:

Hope that you can help me, thanks !

Hey Sgt. Pepper,
I customized your rater so that it will show up on your blog. I'm working with R&D to see if there is a way to move it slightly to the right so that it looks nicer. Let me know if you'd rather I take it down in the meantime. I should have an answer for you on it by tomorrow morning.
Thanks, Kate -
I prefer that you move it a little to the right, so that way it looks better. Thanks for the help! -
Hey,
So I check in with R&D and as I suspected the location of the rater is inherited from your blog design - which I can't access. However you can go in a fix the issue by adding 9pt of "padding" to your "cover" class in the CSS of your design. In our next release we will be able to adjust these issues from the back end but as of now we do not have access. Hope this helps.

The star rating is not at all visible. I tried in firefox v3. I can see the javascript in the source code but the rating widget is not visible.
I’m waiting.

Hi tarun, I'm having some trouble with this one but I'm sure we can get it to work in the correct place. I'll get back to you on it shortly.
Thanks,

My posts are showing two star widgets. One at the end of the post content and another at the end of the page after comments.. In my opinion there should be enough flexibilty given to the user to place the script. I want to put the rating stars at some particular place but I dont have that privilege. Its either at the top or at the bottom. There should be some script, you put it where ever you want to display the rating stars. -
Hi tarun,
In an effort to make the install process as easy and quick as possible we have set a default location for the widget. However we do have a java script version of the widget that allows you to place it where ever you like - it just requires some knowledge about html. Our engineers are looking at the problem that is currently occurring on your blog (the rater appears twice) and I think we should have a solution for you tomorrow but if you would prefer to use the java script version feel free. The url is: http://www.outbrain.com/get/ratings
Thanks - I hope to be back with you on this issue tomorrow.

Hi again,

Inappropriate?i can't see any ratings on my blog too can someone halp me please, please
I try to claim my blog about 20 times but it still doesnt work, my URL:
twezz.blogspot.com
I’m sad
-
Hi twezz,
I customized your rater so that it appears on your blog. It also looks like your blog has been claimed with the user name "twezz." Log into outbrain and sign in as twezz and you should be able to access the settings for your rater. Let me know if this still isn't working after the adjustments I just made.
Thanks!
-Kate
The outbrain Team -
thanks that was a really fast support :) Yes, now i can see the rating star in the last two post but under my 1. post there isnt any star (but thats not so important)
I didnt understand what you mean with ..."your blog has been claimed with the user name "twezz."" i looked it up and i cant find any name in my outbrain that is "twezz." Could you please specifie what you mean with that? Thanks again for the great support -
Hi twezz,
The rater should be showing up on all of your posts now. Let me know if it isn't. When I say the blog is claimed under the user name twezz, I mean that you have registered on the outbrain site and "claimed" you blog (in other words: you've connected your blog with our outbrain user name). This is great because you should be able to sign in and see all of your statistics about your blog on outbrain.com. You can also go there to adjust the settings for the widget. Let me know if this isn't clear or if you have any other questions.
Thanks!
-Kate
The outbrain Team -
Inappropriate?The ratings isn't showing up @ my blog @ http://blawgat.blogspot.com yet. I've just installed the widget& registered etc

Hey d@\/e, I went to your site on both firefox and ie and the ratings seem to be working correctly. What browser are you using? Are you still experiencing problems? Let me know if I'm not understanding your issue.
Thanks, Kate, the outbrain team -
Thanks Kate. I'm using firefox and everythings still working fine.Now I've just to wait for too many 1 stars. -
Inappropriate?Hi Kate...
I'm still having the problem of the the rater showing up twice on our blog. Can you take a look.... http://numismablog.blogspot.com/
thanks. -
Hey - I see what you're talking about. We are working on a solution right now. I'll get back to you shortly. -Kate The outbrain Team -
Kate.
in FF it shows very long on the page... on IE7 it shows smaller... it looks like the outbrain popular posts isn't showing the title of the first post on the blog.. if you need anything else, just email me. Thanks. -
The position of the MP is decided by the widget placement in the blogger dashboard. It’s usually placed in the sidebar by default.
However, due to the changes done in the Blogger API it might have been put in the wrong place.
Once installed, it can be easily moved by dragging the widget page element to the sidebar section.To change it’s position:
Go to the blogspot dashboard >> Click on the Layout tab >> In the Page Elements you can drag the ‘Ratings by outbrain’ element to the side bar >> Click Save >> Click View blog to see the change. Let me know if this helps. Thanks! Kate - The outbrain Team -
Hey, looks like you're still experiencing problems with the location of the MP widet - R&D has looked into it and they are fixing it for our next release - We should have a solution for you in the next couple of days.
Thanks,

Hi jetext,
The code for outbrain is not in your site. You can get code on your blog at http://www.outbrain.com/get/ratings/B....
Let me know if you have already tried to do this and if it did not work.
Thanks,
Kate
The outbrain Team -
Inappropriate?sorry my mistake, you are right;
you code was in my blog & because it dos not work i do remove it.
I made a new test blog and your code is in it right now can you fix it for this one.
http://test1111111111a.blogspot.com/ -
Hi jetext -
So I fixed it for you on your test blog - which is fine but it won't solve your problem on your actual site. If you'd still like to install on your real blog, please put the code back in and I can adjust the necessary settings on my end to make sure it is working.
Thanks,
Kate -
Inappropriate?Hello, I've the same problem (Blogger/BlogSpot Ratings doesn't show) with my blogs since I changed the template (not classical Blogger template).
All is OK except the yellow stars. I can rate, but if I leave the browser and come back later on the page, the rate engine indicates nobody has rated yet.
My blogs URL :
- http://morangofotos.blogspot.com
- http://rtkean.blogspot.com
You can find the template I used at this address : http://www.ourblogtemplates.com/2008/...
Thanks for your help,

Hi Morango,
This is actually a problem we were experiencing across the board today buy it has been fixed and was just taking a while to get caught up. Should be working for you know.

Thanks Kate.
It's working fine now.

Hi jetext

Thanks for your support. (all the Outbrain team)
Now i change the test blog Address to my other real blog "ixero". (i just delete my old ixero blog and change the test blog Address to ixero).
and stars doesn't show again. should i remove your code & install it again before you fix it?
and one other thing, can you put the stars in the middle of the page not the left side. (not very important)
thanks.
